BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? WOODSTOCK

Very often, when it comes to the environment, waste, ecology, in other words one word when it comes to our carbon footprint, people say: yes, ok, we are destroying the world. But I, as an individual citizen, what can I do?

There 's never happened to say or hear these words? They are often also used when talking about politics in a more 'extended: legality', tax evasion and tax compliance, constitution etc.

Well, I broke the boxes of everything '. Every citizen has a moral duty to do all that is' in its power to change things. I am convinced that if a multitude of individuals, does 'something, eventually you will succeed' to change the culture of this country and we can perhaps come to find ourselves in a place slightly less disgusting!

Since yesterday I've added to my personal list of dutiful actions common that all could make, one that has one of the greatest impacts on the environment:

I activated the Home Composting .

Find below a video where I explain how it works and the impact that a proper treatment of domestic waste has on waste!

If you like, keep reading this post below. You will find a list of many other simple things you can do for the environment and beyond.



If someone has already 'read my post you'll find Ecological Footprint' repetitive and this post will believe 'I have the same things in the head .

You're exactly right!

Who is already 'doing all the things you list (or others that may ask you to report) and' on track ......

separate the list into three sections: environment / waste, environment / energy policy

a. environment / waste

1. maximize the use of products with zero miles and minimize the use of products with unnecessary packaging and packaging. For example, use the milk on tap with washable and reusable glass bottles while offering the highest quality product ', save money, reduce fuel consumption (km 0), the removal of brick or other containers which to discard.
2. for shopping, use cloth bags (or hard plastic) to be reused for years and years and ban the use of disposable plastic bags.
3. make a careful distinction of the "so-called waste: paper and cardboard, plastic, glass, iron, steel, aluminum, wet (see below).
4. where do you (all those who have a garden, but you can 'do well on the veranda or balcony, there are kits made especially) home composting. The damp represents about 40% by weight of all waste generated by a family. Think of the saving of resources if this 40% is at our house! Among other things, many municipalities grant a reduction of the fee for waste disposal (40% in fact) for those who do the composting. Go in the compost all organic waste including oil from raw and fried that too many still throw in sewer!

b. environment / energy

1. ban the use of incandescent and halogen lamps. Replace all bulbs with CFL (compact fluorescent lamps). Now begin to be available LED lamps. If the CFL slashing energy consumption by about 80% compared to the old incandescent lamps, LED lamps allow a further saving of energy by about 30% compared to the CFL. A house with 20 light bulbs or halogen lamps can 'consume even 500 or 600 KWh per year. The same house with the same style of life consume in a year 'CFL uses about 100 kWh, about whether 50Kwh using LEDs.
2. turn off all appliances. The Stand by (multiplied by 2, 3 or more 'TV, stereo, DVD players, etc..) And' very energy-consuming. A house can consume several hundred KWh only because of pre-ignition!
3. Do not use washing cycles with washing machine at 90 degrees. Limit cycles at 60 degrees to the cases of real need '. And 'Just use 40 or 50 degrees to get a good result, saving as much energy.
4. not use the dishwasher's drying.
5. maximizing energy efficiency (thermal) of housing and maintaining a temperature not exceeding 20 degrees.
6. limit the temperature of the shower. It 'no use to heat water to 60 degrees and then mix it with cold water! Just heated to 40 degrees and use warm water only.
7. avoid the showers with hot water an hour is always open. Turn off water when you lather your hair and body.
8. install domestic systems of energy production. Photovoltaics, microeolico, solar thermal, geothermal, and where possible / useful, a combination of everything.

c. policy

1. always ask for the receipt or receipt to the merchant or professional that sometimes distracted if they forget. Get a receipt and 'our right and duty, release their duty! Not doing so means accepting that he / she thrives thanks to our taxes!
2. informed about what 'is happening! In addition to calcium and barbaric killing of family time (Cogne, Avetrana) in Italy (and the world) so many things happen that have an impact on people's lives. And also knowing these things helps us decide how to use the powerful tool of the Democratic vote! It should be allowed to avoid information through newspapers and television news is where many traditional paper excluded or domesticated! The real information is on the net!
3. Enough with the delegation! We stop to look for leaders who trust and stop voting professional politicians whose sole purpose 'to increase their privileges to the detriment of citizens. Let us always remember that politicians are our employees. Licenziamoli everyone and we do politics.

You are still of the opinion that there is nothing we can do?

applied as listed above (and more ').

's subscribe MOVING TO 5 STARS AND 'THE ONLY POLICY UNDER MANAGED BY CITIZENS WHO LEND THEIR SERVICE FOR A LIMITED TIME AND REST IN THE DIRECT CONTROL OF THEIR EMPLOYERS!
