Green Practices
Personally, I want to live on an Earth with clean, fresh air, water, and an overall healthy and supporting environment available for everyone to be healthy and reach our highest innate talents. Self directed and Self determined are other ways of saying this as well as sovereignty and freedom. As many of you have begun to notice, it has been getting colder or warmer and staying colder/warmer longer. It has been doing so earlier each year. Weather patterns have become more destructive. Some islands and communities are now under water or are no longer there at all. This is due to global pollution caused by humans. Watch the movie The Day After Tomorrow. And, most importantly do what you can to end pollution by big industries which cause most of the pollution. Do your part locally as well. The Earth does not need us. We need the Earth. As healthy as the Earth is, is as healthy as we are. We are one and the same, the Earth and its inhabitants. If your liver or spleen or heart is unhealthy...you are unhealthy. They are parts of you and you are part of them. Each affects the other.
So, I am 95% paper free. Mail and communication are otherwise done via email and computer. I walk, bike, and mass transit in hybrid vehicles to and from my communal office (library, cafe, or bookstore). Preferred foods eaten to fuel myself are usually organic, local, and farmed sustainably. Personal and household products used are nontoxic (not poisonous) to me and the environment. Items I no longer need or use I try to recycle and dispose of responsibly rather than throw in the trash. This may and has included floppy discs, CDs, audio tapes, and etc. There are organizations and your local UPS store that may recycle these. Check online and find out where to recycle in your area.
