I rarely turn on lights during the day. I turn off the A/C at night and open the windows. I don't speed when I'm driving and I keep my car/tires in good repair. I also recycle, when possible. In addition, I'm a Scorpio, enjoy long walks on the beach, and like to wear a top hat. Dont't fight, ladies. There's enough of me to go around.

Yesterday, on the way home from work, I saw a bag lady with a dozen full white plastic shopping bags surrounding her on the cement. I stopped, got out of my car and gave her my 3 Trader Joes recyclable shopping bags from my back seat.

I'm a vegan, drive a small car, and reuse my bags. I also prefer open windows to A/C.

I live in East Hollywood and work at UCLA Children's Hospital. I take the bus to work 2-3 times a week, and ride my bike (20 mi. round trip) the other days.

I walk to work, grow my own veggies, use canvas bags for shopping, and wear my clothes more than once before washing. I'm stinky.

I turn off the air conditioner when my roomates aren't around and try not to use it myself unless it's REALLY hot out. I also take the metro into Hollywood whenever I can and would take it much more frequently if it ran until 2AM.

I just put CFL bulbs in all my light fixtures that I got for free from the "Sustainable L.A", a green event held with the Downtown L.A. Film Festival on August 17. P.S. by the way, August 28th is today Thursday and not "Wednesday", like the original post states so you may want to fix that. Cheers!

Besides having bought a way more fuel efficient car I have not once used the A/C in my room this summer. I rather use the ceiling fan when it's too warm and open every window/ door of our house in the evening! Oh, and I actually moved to a neighborhood where I can actually can walk to bars, restaurants and supermarkets instead of taking the car to those places.

I'm too late to get in on the contest but this is such a good subject I'd like to contribute anyway. I do most of the things mentioned in the above comments. And at the print shop I work at I: Stay educated on the latest, greenest, printing inks, chemestry, and methods. Stay educated on the best, least impactful, paper and paper products. Encourage customers to use recycled and tree free paper products. Offer to make our customer's waste paper into scratch pads for them for free.

I walk 30 minutes to class, sometimes making 4 trips to and back. I use my own durable grocery bags at super markets. I don't own an AC. I carry a metal water bottle and re-fill it whenever I get the chance. Um, I recycle, and my friends that live close to me are starting a compost heap. Yay earth!

I just moved back into town and i bought a bicycle and i use to get pretty much everywhere. I also have OCD so if I kick a piece of paper on the floor that I didn't put there, I pick it up and throw it in the trash.

I recycle and ride my bike to work (on occasion). I should do more, maybe winning these tickets will shame me into being more green.

In my K-3rd grade Special Day Class for students who have emotional disturbances, we discuss and practice the 3R's: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. I do read alouds with my students, listen and discuss some of the songs on the Curious George soundtrack, have a student created box with all reused materials, and use that box to collect our recycling from school and home.

My husband rides his bike to work daily from North Hollywood to Santa Monica! And I compost, use fluorescent bulbs, and all the usual stuff.

I try to cut down on driving my car by taking the metro when I can. I recently took the metro rail to the hollywood bowl for both radiohead concerts!

I'll be honest, I try not to drive too much. But this is LA so it's a little impossible. I Water the lawn every other day. Recycle as much as I can, make sure what's recyclable gets recycled. Use those fabric shopping bags at the grocery store. Looking into installing solar panels on the roof of the house - but that initial investment is a killer. You would think that somehow that would be less expensive as well, eh? I ride the bike to the gym. Try to manage the use of anything disposable, make sure it is environmentally friendly. Anyway... I try.

For some reason my apartment doesn't have a recycling bin, so I haul all of my recyclables around in the trunk of my volvo and take them to the nearest center. I don't always have time to make it out there every week so sometimes the load gets pretty big. Even then deal with it because I feel guilty if I don't do it

I've converted from bottled to filtered water, and I can proudly say (from my puddle of sweat) that I've used my A/C this summer less than 9 total hours.

i take the subway to work every day!! and i recycle (which is easy in california, but i just moved here from texas, where it is definitely NOT easy). mmm...also, i make my boyfriend turn off the lights and fans when we are not in the room.

linwin

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:40:52 -0800

I use my own bags when shopping - grocery or otherwise, CFL lightbulbs, compost table scraps, only drive when necessary, and encourage others to at least recycle as well as setting an example!
