This are all good tips to conserve energy and reduce heat released in the planet. The last tip s very important. To be able to encourage others to conserve and do effort for the environment is not that easy but will be worth it.

It was sad to know what happened to your collections. I make sure my collections are always with my most valuable things like my diplomas or photographs so that i could never forget where do i placed them and remember to bring them. Hope you could still find the motivation to start another collection again.

Nice share, i am not aware of soap nuts but i am aware of some natural detergents or environmental friendly detergents. I think we do not have such soap here in our country since that kind of berries are not popular here. ;)

I am not that conscious in my diet. I eat vegetables and meat. I just prefer eating more fresh foods than processed foods. We also have some small flocks of chicken before but since of no enough space anymore, we can not continue it. I also used to have vegetables in our yard like bitter melon and ginger.

I also have my own simple ways to conserve energy. - I do not watch TV often. - I turn off the lights when it is not needed just like when my PC/TV is open or i am sleeping. - I do not iron my clothes. - I turned off the PC if not in use and will unplug all appliances not in used.

That would be a good news. Hope companies would invest on such renewable energy and distribute it in a cheaper price compared to the prices of the electricity today. That will be a brighter future. ;)

I used to collect old postal stamps since high school years. I also collect some old coins and old paper money. I still keep my collections until now. Do you have any collection? ;)

Hi Joy and i would like to welcome you here. It was right that we could be healthier in preserving our earth and making it a safer place to live for everyone.

This is my honest question, why some people would not believe that there is a climate change or global warming? Personally i believe that it is happening since i could feel that it is getting hotter and hotter every year. The storms also seems to be stronger and more destructive just like come other natural disasters like earthquakes. So, are you a believer or not?

Hi there Kerry and welcome to the forum. It is nice to see an environmentalist member here and definitely i will be looking forward for more of your posts in different threads here. ;)

We have the power to decide for ourselves since we have our own mind and own judgement on things. If everything is done according to the will of God and law created by man, definitely there will no bad people and everyone are just good.;)

I also think that no matter how modernized or advanced the nuclear power plants are, they are never safe when nature strikes back on us. Just like what happened in Japan, i guess no one had imagined that it will happen as they had good facilities and modern nuclear plants.

It sounds easy but i think it is not. Maybe there will be a need to do some processes like registering a business (since i would be a supplier) and should i pass the environmental standards and some other things. That is a big project and thus required a huge budget which i do not think could be financed (even there are loans) by a single ordinary person like me. ;)

I also use my bicycle in traveling short distances. If not, i would walk since it is also a form of exercise and at the same time, good for the environment.

Yes! i had just watched it in a local news earlier. I was not just smiling, i was laughing on that video. It will really goes viral online and this should be a warning to those who are not following the law of parking. ;)

Thanks for the welcome admin. I enjoy reading green topics and anything about the environment. So, for sure i will enjoy my stay here.

Yes, hope to read more details about that graph. Industrialization releases a lot of toxins and pollutants in the environment. The more company or industry established, the more possible destruction could happen in our natural resources.

Are you doing some simple things daily to help save our environment? As much as possible, i reuse materials like plastic bags and do not just throw them away. I also try to reuse the water from a shower or water used in washing clothes to clean the bathroom or the patio. When it rains, i also collect water and used it for cleaning purposes.

I used to have an asthma before so definitely smoking is a bad thing for me. And i also do not like to try it cause i hate the smell of it. It is also not healthy at all.

I think over population is a bigger problem since the world is over populated in most places. Resources such as food are not equally available or spread and therefore there are some countries that do not have resources to consume while others (usually the rich countries) have resources to waste. I had read before that there is no scarcity of food, there are just lots of wasted foods that if just given to those who needs it rather than it is wasted, no one will be hungry.

Solar energy seems to be the best alternative energy available since it is abundant and free to acquire. The usual problem or hindrance in having this kind of source is the cost of solar panels. It is expensive and very few could afford it. My question would be: Do you think cost of solar panels will become cheaper as times goes by? Or, do you know any cheaper alternative for solar panels?

Hi. It was nice to signed up to this forum as i am interested reading and talking about the different issues and information about the environment. I am the second one to make an introduction thread here so i am assuming i am the number two member (aside from the owner/admin of course). I do hope to see this forum have more members and grow online. ;)
