Use window and oscillating fans instead of air conditioner this summer and..

'Go Green!'

live greener as save energy and money too. Also kinder on the joints of self and your furry friends too. MInimize car use as much as possible in favor of walking and biking and go to farmer's markets for produce to support the local farmer,local economy instead of buying oranges from florida and so on..Grow your own garden and veggies preferably organically. Am enjoying my basil plant for when have pasta and tomato sauce as put sprigs of basil in dish,mm.

All plastic including bags for trash.bottles,etc. need...

'Go Green!'

to be made from recyclable material and biodegradeable so are kind to land fills and planet.  Aerosals should be banned. We should use aluminum bottles full of Brita water and home made drinks like ice tea and lemonade from real tea and lemons instead of soda in plastic containers. Should buy Soda stream to make soda home too.Everyone should walk,bike,take public transportation when can instead of when carry a large load like food or clothes shopping and have many people in car. One should use small cars that are hy bids when alone and not carrying alot. Just makes sense and saves money and gas too!

A greener,easier way of using coupons is..

'Go Green!'

scanning them with our cell phones and then getting coupons off them at cash register. This way minimize paper used and don't have to cut coupons either,saving time which is money for many of us too as why get paid by the hour. What you think? How much is your time really worth? Many of us don't buy news papers anymore but read news online so why should we miss out on saving with coupons?!? Should be able to scan cell phone on buses,trains like do with EZpass over bridges at toll booths in car. Can take money right out of bank account if debit/credit card on record. This way don't have to carry cash,go scrounging for change. Should be able to scan card everywhere,like at laundry mat in washer/dryer. Could eliminate having to cut currency anymore as would have no use for it. I believe cell phones have and are replacing computers,definitely the large desk top ones used to have to sit at desk to use. Even laptops are becoming obsolete for tablets and mini ones.

Download music,videos instead of..

'Go Green!'

buying them and save the planet by not wasting materials and polluting landfills. Also best to email instead of mail,wear yard sale,thrift store finds instead of new,cheaper too.. Uh, what else?!? Make your own coffee instead of buying it out and using cups outside,use brita filtered water bottle and stop buying plastic containers out,filling up landfills filled to exhaustion already,compost your veggies and other organic waste instead of throwing in trash,along with your leaves,use your trimmed hedges for firewood,read the newspaper online instead of buying it,clip coupons online too by printing them,watch tv,use phone online,use free wifi so don't waste by having to install cable,phone lines. What am telling you is cheaper too so money save can go on vacation somewhere camping though,not in hotels. Use youth hostels or elder ones,stay at Y and student dorm rooms which are empty duriing the summer,peak travel,vacation time. Basically folks,use your har earned money wisely so can make a donation to a charity of choice,do something nice from your heart for someone in need or whatever. Capiche? Understand? Don't be like these nouveauriche,boughvois types see on Housewives shows who are new to money and waste it. Also don't act like them,always fighting,so unbecoming. Be kind,have a good attitude,be smart and an example to others,especially your children,and youth who are our future. Beauty is an inside job and if you have a terrible personality noone wants to be near you no matter how wealthy you are. Also wealth is relative as can live well on little if use your brain as I show you time and again.

Hydrofacking is dangerous...

'Go Green!' I just pray that they do not approve it here in the catskills as I watched a documentary about this called Gasland that won at the Sundance film fest and it was very graphic showing the atrocities of this form of energy. They have literally polluted the lakes and streams with their disgusting runoff and threaten the drinking water in the reservoirs as well as killing wildlife,farm animals and citizens of many states like Kansas,Arkansas,Texas,etc.
