I have thought of one way to help environment that I haven't heard yet. Use smaller bath towels as those?

large towels take forever to dry in the dryer. Also norwex is a fantastic product for no chemical cleaning. Do you have an idea that isn't making the mainstream environment news??I have thought of one way to help environment that I haven't heard yet. Use smaller bath towels as those?
Forget towels just hang dry your stuff.I have thought of one way to help environment that I haven't heard yet. Use smaller bath towels as those?
how about not using a dryer at all during the warm months? a good old clothesline uses natural sunlight and air to dry our clothes, and even the most stringent residential codes can allow for these if you're willing to do battle with those who have nothing better to do than enforce stupid laws.





and how about wearing an outfit more than once, until it's dirty and really needs to be washed. I recycle my laundry water by emptying the hose into a large trash bin and using a sump pump to divert the water into the garden. plants love the detergent, which acts as a fertilizer.





we really need to be concerned about our obsession with germs and cleanliness. we're creating people who have no resistance to germs and who are paranoid of them. my neighbor is an example: he launders a towel after just one use and there are three people living in his home. you calculate the impact.
Worm farms are a good way of recycling vegetable waste. It all goes in the worm farm and the worms convert it into highly nutritious soil which is then used to grow vegetables. This means I contribute less to the fuel consumption which is necessary for transporting food into the city. It also means the vegetables are much fresher so higher in vitamins, and of course, I save money.


Also, I only turn on my water heater when I'm about to take a shower. When the water is warm enough, I turn it off and have the shower. The water heater then fills up with cold water which isn't heated until I need it to be. The energy saved is reflected in the cheaper electricity bills.


Other ways of recycling waste and saving resources at the same time are methane generators and composting toilets. Some people find this a bit too much, but if you're serious about the environment, it's worth looking into. Same with grey water. Why flush water down the drain, when it can be used to grow food?


Also I don't understand why every drop of water that comes out of a tap, has to be treated to the point that it's drinkable. It seems to be more sensible for individuals to only treat the water they plan on drinking. Obviously the water that comes out of a tap should be clean, but it doesn't need the full treatment.


There are plenty of ways to reduce waste, and save money. You just need to think about best practice.
Not using your computer is an idea that isn't making it to the ';mainstream environment news';.
Both NASA's Clean Air Plant Study and the world's cleanest operation car run by compressed air isn't making the mainstream environment news.





';NASA research has consistently shown that living, green and flowering plants can remove several toxic chemicals from the air in building interiors. You can use plants in your home or office to improve the quality of the air to make it a more pleasant place to live and work - where people feel better, perform better, any enjoy life more.'; --- http://www.zone10.com/tech/NASA/Fyh.htm





'; After fourteen years of research and development, Guy Negre has developed an engine that could become one of the biggest technological advances of this century. Its application to Compressed Air Technology(CAT) vehicles gives them significant economical and environmental advantages. With the incorporation of bi-energy (compressed air + fuel) the CAT Vehicles have increased their driving range to close to 2000 km with zero pollution in cities and considerably reduced pollution outside urban areas.


The application of the MDI engine in other areas, outside the automotive sector, opens a multitude of possibilities in nautical fields, co-generation, auxiliary engines, electric generators groups, etc. Compressed air is a new viable form of power that allows the accumulation and transport of energy. MDI is very close to initiating the production of a series of engines and vehicles. The company is financed by the sale of manufacturing licenses and patents all over the world.'; --- http://www.theaircar.com/
Not small towels, but just a few. When your done with it, hang it up. Use it a few times untill it gets very dirty then wash it.
