Do you consider yourself eco-friendly?
« on: November 30, 2008, 03:59:42 PM »
Do you save energy? Do you try to drive less? Do you recycle? Do you buy biodegradable/eco-friendly products?

Do you consider yourself to be eco-friendly?

I'm bored.

I think I'm eco-friendly. I try to reuse or recycle whatever I can. I also use a bike for most of my traveling. Or I walk if my destination is close by.

A little bit. I unplug my computer everynight, does that count?

I do. I try to turn off electronics not in use (tv, computer, lights), etc. We also recycle paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum (its a law here; you must recycle biweekly or face a $500 fine/offense).

Wow, mandatory recycling. Don't lawmakers have better things to worry about? I'm sorry but whether I recycle should be no one's concern but mine.

I don't see a problem with it. A lot of the communities around here are the same way (the fine amounts very). And they actually do enforce them, via the recycling trucks. The drivers write down house numbers where one or more recycling can is not present on recycling days. If you don't recycle - consider yourself fined.

I just don't think its fair to assume that someone isn't recycling based on the presence (or not) of their recycling container. There ARE other ways besides sitting them out for the collector.  :yes:

Agreed. I don't even bring my recycle/trash can out on collection days where my can isn't full or even half full.

I've been getting into the habit of using reusuable bags when I go to the supermarket. Usually I only use those if they have a self-checkout, because if I use them at regular checkout the cashier just ends up using the plastic bags anyway.

I always reuse bags, and I always recycle newspapers, bottles and cartons.
