I recently started a project, Environmental Survival Guide, as means of spreading the ideas and concepts behind lowering our impact. You can also read the feed through my Virb profile.

I'd like to welcome anyone and everyone. I hope for people to share ideas and express concerns about relevant topics here so that we can all do our best to take care of the only home we have.

I've recently made some changes to my lifestyle to help reduce my impact - I've switched to reusable shopping bags, I use tupperware ONLY - I've stopped using ziplock bags completely, I take a sturdy, refillable water bottle to work and school every day, I refill plastic water bottles and put them in the fridge until they become hopelessly unusable, and I've started riding my bike to school (just 2 days a week). Not work, just school. I'm not in shape enough to make it to work, yet. :-)

I made all the typical changes a while back too - compact fluorescent bulbs in every socket, turn off things I'm not using, only turn on the lights I need at the moment, only use the A/C or heater when needed and turn the thermostat to a lower or higher setting, etc.

Please make sure to tell anyone you know to join the group so we can all share stories, advice, tips, etc!
