We have no public transit. I do use shopping bins (I love the name "Bin Shoppin'") when at the grocery store. I keep my electricity use to a minimum whenever possible. <BR/><BR/>In Peel Region we have an excellent and all encompassing recycling and organic waste collection program. From what I have observed, most of my neighbours fully particpate. <BR/><BR/>The key to any program is compliance. The biggest hurdle to success is each person being willing to do their part.Steph A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03111777331968891858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28865391.post-57927302288523537272007-07-08T14:13:00.000-04:002007-07-08T14:13:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Steph A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03111777331968891858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28865391.post-46249199561448132102007-07-08T00:05:00.000-04:002007-07-08T00:05:00.000-04:00i don't know if Live Earth will change antyhing.

What are you doing about it? Me? I am walking a lot more. I leave my car at home and walk or take the bus and subway to work. Almost all my light bulbs are the Eco kind thanks to my landlord. I could do more... like remembering to bring the canvas shopping bags to the grocery store when I go...<BR/>I keep forgetting to unplug my chargers...<BR/>I turn off my monitor at work when I leave... little steps...Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868693775125207324noreply@blogger.com
