Does anyone here do things to better the environment? I started recycling more than normal recently, also using reusable bags when shopping, & limiting my AC use. I feel like this is a subject that needs to be talked about more by celebrities and people with followings so that a difference can really be made.

I've been recycling for years. I also use the cloth bags when I go grocery shopping. I sometimes clean up the litter from the trails when we take our dogs on hikes. It sounds petty, but I think there should be stiffer littering fines. I saw a picture of a little kid with a shirt on that read "Keep the Earth clean. It isn't Uranus."

I run the a/c constantly. I hardly recycle. So... I guess I’m a huge detriment to the environment. I also drive a V8.

I started recycling a few years ago when my town reduced the number of allowable trash containers but unlimited recycling collection. Other than that, I don’t actively attempt to alter what I do for the sake of the good ol rock.

I recycle whatever I can. My family actually gets a little frustrated with how I’m always asking for their used water bottles and containers to recycle. I also avoid littering and pick up trash whenever I can. I would stop using my AC so much but Florida weather is brutal and hot and I don’t like being sticky sweaty.

In no way would I ever sacrifice conditioned air to try to save the environment

For years I kept a frag tank and would part out corals to aid in less wild caught corals for sale in Florida. It got to be too expensive. Between suppliments, constant R/O water, water tests, feedings, bulbs, tank upgrades, I finally threw in the towel. That was probably the best conservationist thing I have done. I also worked in the oil feilds. So got to play in both sandboxes.

I'll be dead in 50 years or less so I don't really care about the environment. I wouldn't actively try to do anything to harm it but if you're warm, blast that AC.
My missus is obsessed with recycling and saving energy so that balances everything out.

I don't recycle, too much admin. I live out of the city with no neighbours so any rubbish I have goes into a 44 gallon drum and set on fire. Thats reducing the landfill so I'm pretty much an environmentalist.

I burn all the trash so the bar gets a good smoky smell. Then the smoke rises up and goes to the sky and creates stars.

And living in Alabama means the AC is running constantly.

I started recycling in earnest about seven years ago. I was shocked how little trash I actually produce once you separate out the plastic and paper. It would be even less if I could compost food waste but I rent so I can't do that.
Another easy one I do is walk, take public transportation, or carpool whenever possible.
One thing I won't do is sit around in the middle of the summer suffering in the heat and humidity for the sake of conserving a little energy. I have no problems running the AC so that I can watch TV in comfort.

I don't use aerosol deodorant. I get to stink and save the environment at the same time. It's a win win!

I don't get to do much but recycle a little. I wish I could be a freegan, but I don't have the nerve. Cool thing is that a part of my city has a "buy nothing" facebook group (many around the u.s.), which is akin to a free/re-use sharing space for unwanted stuff, stopping it from hitting the landfill.
Some might be interested to see that scientists have altered radioactive bacteria from Japan to eat plastics. Hopefully that shrinks landfills, instead of adding more like the one they want to put at the end of my street.

I ride my bike as much as possible, to the store for a few things/gym.
I carry trash bags in my vehicle for when I go hiking. Pick up any trash I find

I recycle as much as I can. Donate stuff I don't need rather than throw it away. I try to use cloth bags for groceries (or at least re-use the plastic ones for car trash).
