Being More Envirommentally Conscious

[metrojersey85]

Thought this would be nice to do, even starting small with recycling, and reusing things I can reuse.

Also, I live in an area where windmills and solar panels are an option. My family is buying a fixer upper and it has an acre and redwoods on it. I would like to install a windmill or solar panels.

I think you can get PAID to have a windmill on your property in most cases.

All the little things do ad up. Reuse paper and plastic bags from stores for your garbage bags.

I started refilling kcups with my own coffee to create less plastic.

Why don't windmills have solar panel blades?

[Biased]

Srs reply, there are calculators that can give you a banged out answer. But if you have a little cabin and don't cut down trees that's not going to work out.

I've heard of problems with wind - noise, birds/bats flying in the blades, constant maintenance. Solar is looking better

I pick up wrappers and bottles all the time.

This sounds like a very helpful resolution. Keep it up.

[Balto Bob]

neither are good in forests, but if you clear a big enough area, solar will definitely do better than wind

I bet your neighbors will have some good ideas in this area - if you've met them yet. Not sure how close you are to your neighbors.

[Desired Apathy]

This is a great idea and I can think of so many little things I can do that will add up over time.

Props to all of you. We can make the Earth cleaner.

I definitely always recycle, but I can definitely pick up some of the litter/bottles I see everywhere.

that's a really genuine resolution that will help many!
