Reuse, reduce, react.. 6 Sep 2008

Sometimes I feel like a weird boy surrounded by mature, serious people, having their own “real” problems. I’m talking about acting everyday for our environment. What do I do in particular? Well for example..
- I wear my backpack every time I go shopping to reduce number of plastic bags needed,
- I reuse those bags by disposing them as garbage bags,
- I turn off the light and switch off all not necessary electric appliances at home, or at work,
- I think how to reduce usage of electricity, for example by replacing ADSL modem and wireless router with only one device, having only one power supply instead of two. I even try to reduce ironing all of my clothes if it is not really, really necessary ;-)
- I use only public transportation or use carpooling.
I could continue this way for a long time, but it really doesn’t matter. What matters and what is really sad is that most of people around me don’t see the point of those actions. It’s not surprising considering they just don’t see any reason to react. It’s much easier to make fun of people do not supporting the theory of evolution, while in the same time they are denying the existence of global warming. I really appreciate those who reuse, reduce and react!








Amen, my dear friend.
Currently, I’m thinking of a smart way to automatically turn off some of home electric devices, like wifi router, external hard disc, TV set, while I’m out at work or sleeping. That would save a lot of energy!
I hope people will learn this way of life in the future. If there’s some future after all…
