I live in a sorority house and we are trying to go greener. We have already switched to paper and completely eliminated styrofoam. What else can we do?

Don't eat animal products/eat less animal products, for parties make vegetarian dishes. When you go to town ride-share. Keep riding that bike around campus! Navy showers

Recycle (all those beer cans/bottles), compost bin, set up an organic garden, compact fluorescent light bulbs, encourage turning lights/computers off when they're not in use, put a filled 2 liter bottle in the toilet tank to reduce water waste. Get the frat boys involved with a flirty wink, and you've doubled your efforts!

“If Pelosi thinks that decreasing CO2 in this country is going to save the polar bears, she’s crazy. If CO2 emissions are going to kill the polar bears, it’s going to happen. What we do here [in the US] is not going to it.”

Forget the sodding polar bears: this is about all of us. As the ice disappears, the region becomes darker, which means that it absorbs more heat.

Turn down your thermostats? Buy a smaller car? Conserve? I have spent quite a bit of time in Russia and China, and that’s the first stage. You go from having your own car to carpooling to riding the bus to mass transit. You eventually get to where you’re walking. You go from your own apartment and bathroom to sharing kitchens with four families. That’s what socialism and the elimination of capitalism and free enterprise is all about.”

Green manufacturing to us means creating designs that endure - structurally and artistically - to last for generations, without harming either the environment or the people that make or use them. Our work is done using domestically grown solid wood, logged following sustainable forestry guidelines. Whenever possible, our manufacturing waste products are recycled or repurposed.

I'm doing some research on how much money one can save by switching to CFL's in their home. I used my test group, an array of several incandescent bulbs ranging from 40watts to 60watts, and tracked their energy usage using my electricity meter outside my home. Thing is, I'm not quite sure what to do with this number. I have an older meter, the one with the spinning disk. I tracked how long it took for the disk to spin while only the incandescent lights were on. It took 30.2 seconds to spin around once. I made sure that the only thing that could possibly be drawing energy were those lights. The Kh factor for my meter is 7.2. Now, I have no clue what to do with this information. I'd like to see how much energy running incandescent lights take compared to CFL's, and how much money I would save by switching to CFL's.

I'm looking for a Green way to backup data on my home network. My wife and I each have computers that are frequently used, plus we have an old computer that we only turn on to stream video to our TV. Currently, I have the old computer also set up as a backup for my computer (which is running linux, so I use rsync). I'd like to also set my wife's computer (running XP) up for backups, requiring her to turn on the backup computer to do so, or leaving that computer on all the time to let it automate backups. I've also considered getting an external hard drive, which could be switched on when necessary, or getting a network attached storage device (NAS, which is more of a mini computer). In any case, I'd like to be as green as possible with my solution, specifically concerning electricity consumption (both when on and when in standby mode), but also in minimizing buying a lot of electronics.

The technology behind PosiCharge grew out of AV's development of the modern electric car for General Motors. Introduced in 1989, the GM Impact was a breakthrough in EV design and systems integration. When tasked with finding a way to safely increase the useful range of electric battery packs, AV's team of engineers, scientists and battery applications experts developed PosiCharge.

So why is this an aesthetic issue? Well, because it's a severe breach of taste to bake and sweat half to death in your own trash, that's why. To boil and roast the entire physical world, just so you can pursue your cheap addiction to carbon dioxide.... What a cramp of our style. It's all very foul and aesthetically regrettable.

Ecotarianism has a winningly common-sense approach. The concept is simple: eat the foods with the lowest environmental burden, those with the lowest global-warming potential (GWP) and the least chance of messing up the planet via their acidification and pollution potential.
