AlterNet: Environment: 11 Solutions to Halting the Environmental Crisis

- No more wars.
Life is short. We do not have to go to war and kill each other at the order of a few leaders. Bombs, landmines and all WMD are killing and maiming humans and hurting Mother Earth.

- Become a Vegetarian
GoVeg.com // Meat and the Environment
Raising animals for food requires massive amounts of land, food, energy, and water and contributes to animal suffering.

One pound of hamburger requires 2,500 gallons of water to produce, which could instead have been used to grow more than 50 pounds of fruits and vegetables. We have been vegetarians for over 30 years.

Thirty-seven million animals are slaughtered a year for consumption.

Our Environment
What is "Our Environment?" We are all sharing the Earth. We all depend on the environment to sustain our lives here on Earth. Without the environment we would not be able to live here on Earth. Are you getting it?

- Use energy saving lite bulbs and appliances
Replace your bulbs with Compact Fluorescent bulbs. A bit more expensive but they do cut your electricity bill! We have replaced six (6) bulbs so far.

Our Mantra is: “Love Our Planet, Live Green” because we know that small changes can and do make a difference. Using Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs in place of Traditional Light Bulbs is one way that you can help make a positive impact on the environment

- Solar panels and energy-saving appliances
For those who live in their own homes, why not go solar? There are many ways to cut down on the dependence of big oil. (We live in an apartment.)

- No more watering of front lawns
Using valuable water to water a lawn is a bit insane don't you think?

- No more swimming pools
Why fill a swimming pool with valuable water? Turn the pool into a cellar ...

- Turn off your TV
Watch movies on your tv, read online news, ... We killed our TV over a year ago. It is now used for watching films.
Are you Informed? Ignorant? Indifferent? Online News:

- Drive a fuel efficient car and of course drive less
Walk, ride a bike ... We use our car about once a week. We are retired and do not have to commute to work.

The Air Car - The World´s Cleanest Car
Based on these facts and combining them with MDI’s industrial concept advantages, we initiated the study of an extremely low cost, commercial and clean car:
* Zero pollution in the city using compressed air
* Low consumption and reduced pollution on the road using a bi-energy system. www.theaircar.com

- Buy local
Produce grown nearby has not spent days in a truck or boat. Of course, eating organic produce is healthier. Who wants to eat poisoned vegetables/fruit???

... there are many options and we can all make a difference without the government's approval.
