What are some cheap ways to go green?

It seems like everything you can do to be a more environmentally-friendly person is expensive: organic food, special cosmetics, gasoline from corn that you have to fix your vehicle to even be able to use. I'm a teenager with no job (yet), and my mom is a teacher, which is obviously not a whole lot of money. I can unplug my computer when I'm not using it, turn off the lights when I leave a room, and take shorter showers. What else can I do to lessen my carbon footprint?

I have a HUUUUGE list for free available at www agua-luna com it's like 33 pages long & would just spam this whole answer. But here's a few cut from the list below. If you'd like the entire list feel free to visit www agua-luna com or email me through the site directly & I’ll send you a free copy.

Also Agua-Luna com now offers Carbon Offsetting Credits, since our Team of Volunteers is already accomplishing several carbon eliminating projects, we’re now converting the carbon offsets to you. Visit www agua-luna com for a FREE carbon calculator to calculate your carbon footprint for free & more info on carbon credits.

You could also Volunteer with us, planting a tree or working on a Sustainable Renewable Energy Building Project in Mexico OR The Amazon. Again see www agua-luna com for more info.

If you can’t join us here are some ways you can at least contribute from home..

Recycle paper, cardboard, newsprint & magazines.
Recycle aluminum cans.
Recycle all batteries.
Recycle & reuse. Roughly 50?f the average person's trash can be recycled. Don't forget that hazardous waste like batteries, your printer's ink cartridges, & cell phones can be recycled too! Find out how & where to recycle in your area. Always buy recycled paper. Just 1 ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees.
Just because your community doesn't pick up all recyclables on the curb, it doesn't mean there are not viable alternatives nearby. Check with dry cleaners, supermarkets, manufacturers, your local public works department & civic organizations to find out where recycled goods can be dropped off, at a location near you.
Did you know that just in 1995 alone, recycled toner cartridges kept over 21,000 tons of trash out of landfills? Believe it or not, now you can recycle your printer's toner cartridges! Every year, Americans throw out enough printer cartridges to stretch from Los Angeles to New York City & back again. Toner cartridges can be recycled, having just as good a performance as an unrecycled cartridge. To recycle your toner cartridges, find a local business that does printer cartridge recycling, or contact the manufacturer of your current toner cartridge & ask about a cartridge recycling program.
Not only should you recycle, but buy products that are recycled. By purchasing these products, you are helping to conserve natural resources, & to protect the environment.
Wash clothes in cold water.
Hot water is unnecessary for most clothes. When needed, use warm water.
Fill your toilet tank.
Put a plastic bottle or two, filled with water & rocks, in your tank to reduce the amount of water used in each flush.
Clean your filters.
Clean the filters of your air-conditioners once a month to improve energy efficiency. While you’re at it, change your car’s filters as recommended in your manual.
Get a low-flow shower head.
Stop at the hardware store on your way home, & get a low-flow shower head. Takes a few minutes to install, & it’ll save gallons of water a day.
Lower your thermostats.
If you use heating, get by with less heat & wear warmer clothes. If you use air-conditioning, get by with less cooling & wear cooler clothes.
If it’s a nice sunny day, hanging clothes only takes a few minutes, & you’re using solar power instead of electricity to do the job. It also makes your clothes last longer.
Turn down your water heater.
Most people have their water heater’s thermostat turned up too high, wasting energy. Turn it down to 130 degrees, saving energy but still hot enough to kill bacteria.
Use CFC light bulbs.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online & on-site workshops, seminars & internships to help others help the environment.

Dan Martin had some great tips! Here's some more:

* Turn off lights and TV when leaving a room.
* Unplug TVs, DVD players, computer chargers, mp3 chargers, and phone chargers when not in use.
* Utilize natural light.
* Ride a bike, use public transportation, or car pool.
* Do errands in one trip, rather than in multiple trips.
* Properly inflate your tires. Be careful not to over-inflate them -- the maximum PSI rating is for a vehicle carrying the maximum weight it should. You can go with a number more near the minimum PSI if you're not keeping heavy objects in your car.
* When driving, don't go too fast (the higher your speed, the worse your mileage) and try to drive smoothly -- don't brake too much if possible.
* Encourage your friends to go green, too, by teaching them what we've taught you! :)

Also, look out for "organic" cosmetics. Some of them are outright liars! Here's a link with more info:

Dear teenager,

You are already doing awesome in reducing your carbon footprint and it's good to know that you are on top of it.
Here are few simple ways that are environmentally friendly and economical.

*Close the tap water while you brush your teeth
*Recycle cans, glass and plastic, if curb-side recycling or plastic recycling facility is available
*Implement paper consumption control; avoid printing material unless you have to
*If you get paper junk mail, try to reach out to the source to stop the mailing
*Avoid using disposable plates, cups, forks and spoons whenever possible; instead go for glass ware
*Take your own bags to grocery store for bagging
*Avoid purchasing bottled water on a regular basis
*Turn the computer or TV off when not in use
*Unplug computer, cell phone charger (if you have one) when not in use
*Turn off the lights when not in use
*Buy energy efficient bulbs whenever possible
*Do your laundry when the load is full, if possible
*Air dry your laundry, if possible
*Do your weekly shopping in one trip
*Carpool if you are offered the opportunity or ride a bike, when possible

You can travel by foot or bicycle instead of by car whenever you find it possible I am not really sure whether organic food is really any freer from contaminants than is other foods. I personally suspect that I get a mild reaction from it. I once heard that people have to "get used to" organic coffee. However, I did not trust the character of the person who gave me the information as a voice of authority. Many cosmetics, whether "special" or not, are simply shortening mixed with a few other ingredients for aesthetic appeal. I heard it on television one time from a physician with some sort of expertise in the area. Do not worry about some matters.

I guess you should try to get your homework and reading done by daylight as much as possible. If you like to read in bed before you fall asleep you can use a low watt bulb for it. Fluorescent light bulbs burn less electricity than do regular light bulbs, and they tend to last longer.

It amazes me that houses are not better-constructed in the face of the elements. I live in Canada, where it gets really cold in the wintertime, and I find that houses are not adequately insulated. If builders would invest in extra layers of the right type of insulation, I think it would make an enormous difference. Also, houses should have a basement and sufficient attic space between the ceiling and the roof, because the air acts as an extra layer of insulation. To me, asbestos as insulation, especially between the walls, as opposed to styrofoam, would keep buildings much warmer in the winter. As well, it would keep out more heat in the summer, rducing the need for air conditioning. In climates where heavy stone and brick is available for building material, some of this need is reduced, because of the thickness of the material. People should spend more time down the basement in the summer rather than in a room with an air conditioner turned on. Air conditioners use a lot of electricity and fossil fuel as well as furnaces.

In cold months I close the drain while showering holding all the hot water in the tub to warm the room. Letting the water cool in the tub releases all those BTUs into the house instead of heat energy down the drain.
Answered By: Rontwo - 6/21/2009
Turn off and unplug your air conditioner. AC is overrated and a waste of electricity. Do not use corn alcohol in your car though, as more energy from petroleum was used in creating it than is actually contained in the ethanol. Definitely unplug the computer when not in use, those things suck power like crazy even when powered off. Purchase food that is not only organic, but locally grown if there are stores or farmers markets where you live. Locally grown food requires less fuel to transport.
Answered By: The Infaliable Biff - 6/21/2009
You can walk or ride a bike to school.
And yes, while organic foods or environmentally friendly products are more expensive, the more people buy, the more the price will come down. Supply and demand. As more people buy organic food, the more the agricultural industry will support and grow organic food. Then, in turn the price will come down because there is more being produced.

Other Career Questions

Can I get a realistic estimate of how much people are interested in green living? How many do you think there are? I would crudely estimate that millions of people are genuinely into it. By "genuine", I mean that they're into it enough in order to act on it in their daily living. I estimate one million because there are 314 million people in America and I think that 1 in every 300 would probably be a good guess. But what about other places like Canada? In Canada, recycling and composting is part of normal, everyday living, but how many people are actually hardcore green fanatics and not just people following the norm? How many green fanatics do you think there are worldwide? Please give a suitable number. PS: By "fanatic", I'm not referring to the negative connotations (like extremism) usually associated with the word. I'm referring only to people who are into it enough to actually recycle and consider it when making decisions. @John W: Whoever said that I was trying to denigrate anybody for not being green. I completely know and understand why making some sacrifices associated with green living would be too big a pill to swallow for most people. I'm just curious in knowing how many people actually make their honest best effort (even if it's only a little) to live a green lifestyle. It's more about statistics than it is about ranting and forcing people to convert. I just need the statistic is all.

So today I went in for an interview and I was going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive. now this is where it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!
