what is meant by eco friendly living??/
Eco friendly living is doing things in a simple way. Composting waste. Growing your own food (or at least what you can). Taking the time to make something yourself rather than buy it because that is the lazier option. Making and using a compost toilet. Planting trees that are useful, such as fruit, oak and ash, instead of keeping a garden as a lawn just because it looks pretty (saves mowing it too). Buying goods that you need from local sources. Selling or swapping goods that you have a surplus of, instead of allowing it to go to waste or sit there unused. Sharing tools and such with neighbours. Using and even making for use, plant based cleaning products. Reusing grey water. Giving scrap food to the wild animals. Using a bike to go to work or the shop, or if not possible, car share. Reduce what you really need to buy and own (doing this will save you masses of money, so you would not need to work for anybody else as much, giving you more time for doing things for yourself. Carrying out repairs yourself when possible. Saving old things that you no longer need to make other things (such as old radiators for making solar thermal water heaters). Do everything you can to reduce your bills so that your consumption is less. Think what else something can be used for instead of just having one item for one use (such as a laptop can be used to watch TV, so no TV needed, can be used to watch DVD’s, play music and games – wow, how many items would that save you buying, insuring and repairing?). If you use wood for heating, plant twice as many trees as you use, so that your kids and their kids have fuel too. Plant more fruit bushes than you need, so that the wild animals have food too (after all, we have taken their wilderness away from them somewhat). In between trees that you have, sow wild flower seeds, so that insects which in turn feed the animals have food (also saves mowing the lawn). Reduce your house temperature and wear an extra jumper. Saving old jam jars and making your own jam. Same for glass bottles – they can be used for storing fresh squeezed fruit juice.
The list is endless. Living ecologically is in part about smart thinking…

Eco Friendly in a nut shell means being nice to the environment that surrounds you and all living organisms in it.
Ecology is a chain reaction so, you can start by
1) Cleaning your house and reducing environmently harmful products.
2) Using products made from natural products or by products.
3) Growing green planst and trees.
4) Being nice to humans , animals, plants.
take care.

I have lived Eco style for years now and as a direct result of my lifestyle, only need to earn £5,000 a year. That amount puts me under the tax threshold, so every penny I earn, I keep and my weekly outgoings is almost nil.

I think alot of these answers have hit the nail on the head but examples of ‘eco friendly’ could be:
- You use an aerosol which gives out little or no CO2. You would class that as being ‘eco friendly’
- You decide to stop buying vegetables from the supermarket and grow them yourself. Therefore,
cutting down on transportation emissions, packaging and waste. This would be seen as ‘eco friendly’.
Eco friendly means that either a product, method or way of living, does not have a detrimental effect on the environment.
Eco Friendly – Environmentally Friendly!
