new findings

i found a website showing 50 ways to help the Planet. wonderful!

HERE

only that most of them do not apply to my community's lifestyle. it seems that the risks brought about by environmental change are global, but the language is sometimes so space-specific that you can feel the gross disparities between the developed and the developing.
for example, nobody I know owns a dishwasher, nor a dryer, and i hope they never will, because such conquests or technology are utterly useless. due to habituation to these numerous appliances, the environmentally concerned Americans will promote their limited use, but cannot conceive their absence from the household.

nevertheless, the advice you find here is starting to apply for the Romanian in busy urban society, like # 24 "invest in you own coffee cup"( which everybody should be promoting in their offices) # 22 "buy local" (an impulse to those skeptical about local products and the consumerist snobs)+ all that refers to recycling, including object you no longer need and somebody else might want (Freecycle)

#40 my personal hope is to see hyper and supermarkets cutting down on their plastic bag usage, as "plastic bags suck" and replace maybe with cloth bags like the ones you can find in the German Plus retailers which carry the message "Mach mit-Deiner Umwelt zuliebe"

of course we would need to become more practical and loving and do the #17 : "shower with your partner", but remember afterwards to #6 : "diaper with a conscience".
