Thinking Green
Jun 3rd, 2009 by Greenist
Today I was thinking about my green project of building a solar panel while I was out and about doing errands. Enjoying the dream of the buckets of money that the power company will be paying me as the Solar panels over produce free captured energy, I could not help but notice the number of people that just tossed garbage from their car window. Aside from the illegality of the littering, I was outraged at the disregard for being environmentally friendly.
It was at that moment I realized that the entire Green movement is dependent on FREE, or at least sufficient value. All things green and environmentally friendly have a cost. Each of us makes a determination with respect to an acceptable price for saving the planet, being green, preserving the environment and generally being a good citizen of the Earth.
So, I quit! No not really, I am now more energized than ever to find cost effective and complete green solutions that have high payouts, are totally free, or inspire people to be more sensitive to the environment. The last part being the most important and easiest to achieve.
So, I am now looking for comments and ideas of how to achieve this grass roots [yes a green quip, sorry] movement that has no cost associated. I intend to try and think of at least one green environmentally friendly approach each day. If it is successful, it will make the blog.
I invite anyone interested in supporting this effort to do the same, and I will happily post your thoughts as comments, or if you wish, you can contact me and discuss writing directly to the blog.
Enjoy the sun,

Hiya,
I am trying really hard to become more eco friendly and by the looks of it so are many other people which is great. If we all pulled together a little and made a few small changes then hopefully we could a difference to the planet. I now use e-Cards rather than buying paper cards. Not only are you saving money if you choose a free site, but more importantly, you are helping the environment by saving paper, and therefore less trees need to be chopped down! I have done my research and finally found the best free Environmentally Friendly eCard site. It is really easy to use, which is great if like me you are not very good with computers! I really like this particular site as there is just so much choice. I know e-Cards are not for everyone but think of the environment it really is a great way to help out and do your bit!
Hi,
Here is a novel idea… Did you know that by doubling the the CO2 in your garden you can grow plants bigger and faster with less water. Yep, plants use CO2 for photosynthesis which is why they are green. If you really want to make the Earth greener, you should add as much CO2 to the atmosphere as possible. CO2 as an ariel fertilizer is free as the wind, and it is even possible that when produced on an industrial scale can even benefit poor farmers and hunter gather tribes in the developing world. If you are serious about going green and do not want to spend any extra money, then just quit worrying about being an eco anything! Drive a big car, keep your ac on low during the summer and your heat on high during the winter.
Today as a result of increased industrial CO2, plants are growing bigger, faster and in dryer and colder places. This increases the food supply for both people and animals. The bio mass of the Earth has increased about 6% since the 1940s!
I always read blogs in similar topic, but I never visited your blog. bookmarked and i
