Your most environmentally UNFRIENDLY habit.......

[marmar]

It's easy for me. Living in the Great Lakes region, we tend to take water for granted. And I'm a great waster of it (25-minute showers, not turning off the faucet while brushing teeth etc etc)

[morgan2]

1. Farting..

[marmar]

2. Teehee....

:P

[Lasher]

3. Please include farting as an answer to the poll question.

There's still time to edit.

:D

[flvegan]

4. You should add "I eat meat" just for the sheer collective outrage.

Always adds to an already good time.

:popcorn:

[FredStembottom]

5. I drive for a living........

...is that too much?:dilemma:

[MrModerate]

6. I'm already considered the family light switch Nazi . . .

But I haven't sufficiently trained my children (and often forget myself) to turn the damn light out already! And to turn the computers off if you're not going to use it for several hours. And (most of all) turn the frakkin' TV off if no one's in the room! Sheesh!

[obliviously]

7. So you think when you drink or use water it leaves the earth never to return?

[marmar]

8. Umm, no....but I could use less of it and save it for others, n'est-ce pas?

It really isn't that high-concept. :think:

[obliviously]

16. I just let them use it when I'm finnished with it!

[JVS]

9. I eat ribs and use quilted toilet paper to clean my fingers between bites.

[Morning Dew]

10. I'm not sure how environmentally unfriendly this is, but

I wrap my used batteries in quilted toilet tissue and diapers, douse it with my used motor oil and some lawn chemicals and light it with my cigarette.

Whatever is left, I rake into the storm drain and spray the hose on it for about an hour.


:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[lumberjack_jeff]

12. Mind if I bring you my batteries?

I have a big pile. I live a few hundred miles away... but it's okay because my truck has a 200 gallon fuel tank.

[Morning Dew]

13. LOl. Sure, c'mon over - and if you wear out your tires getting here

we can burn them too.

[Fla_Democrat]

20. Smokey loves ya, baby

spray the hose on it for about an hour.

Only you, can prevent forest fires. :evilgrin:

[cliffordu]

11. Throwing batteries away.

[The Midway Rebel]

14. Traveling science educator for children....

I drive around dumping shit tons of CO2 into the air while teaching children about science and preaching about global climate change. The irony is killing me...and the planet.

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

15. It's a shame I can only vote for 1 option. I do all habittually. :D

I live in the great lakes reagion too. HELLO! :)

I love driving my little 20mpg car around, we don't recycle, 1-2 rolls of Charmin ultrasoft, I'm always turning lights off after people leave them on, My wife takes 50+ minute showers, Almost always use plastic, and I have a 5yr supply of cleaning products in one closet. Just tell me which is the worst for the environment and I'll vote for that. NONE of this is an exaggeration either. Also, while not habitual in the slightest, I did save $200 flushing my radiator behind the garage with the garden hose when rebuilding my motor last month. It's a shame they charge so much for something so simple.

On the upside, I do MORE than my part replenishing minerals back into nature. Mostly lead and copper... but sometimes steel if I'm shooting military surplus or Russian ammunition.

[thenooch]

17. I drain...

I drain my VW Bus oil right back into mother earth...

It's where it came from, so I offer it back, with peace,
and much Love.

[DireStrike]

18. This computer is on way too many hours a day

And it consumes a lot of power. =/

I get plastic bags too, but you need them to throw away garbage so at least I'm only dealing with one set of bags.

[Ozymanithrax]

19. I use the air-conditioner too much.

I dispose of the dog poop in individual plastic baggies rather than recycling it to the yard.

[tonysam]

21. I have all of these canvas bags,

and I always forget to take them with me to the store.

[lutefisk]

24. Me too. I see them in he back of the van when I load the groceries and think, "damn!" . . . n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

22. I do drive too much - but I live on the plains and it's getting COLD and rainy/snowy out now.

I have been trying to take fewer trips.

[Brother Buzz]

23. My coal forge proably negates my puny carbon footprint

I don't burn a lot of coal, but despite being a premium, low ash, low sulfur coal, I still generate a lot of smoke and smell. I like to think the tools I forge, repair and recycle reduce energy consumption somewhere else if people aren't purchasing them new. Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without.

I guess my modest wood stove isn't so environmentally friendly, either, or so they tell me.

Nevertheless, I go to great lengths to avoid using energy unnecessarily; push mower, hand clippers, rakes, brooms are the rule of the day. The only power device I use for garden work is a little wussy electric lawn mower to mulch up yard clippings for the compost. My gas-hog shredder has been idled for years.

25. Well, I do hold those summertime tire burning parties

Nothing brings the gang together like a good tire fire.
