Green living tips for renters?

admin — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 02:29:32 +0000

My 8yr old has gotten caught up in living green which is great but the majority of tips I find for saving elec, water,etc are for homeowners. Are there any websites for those of us who rent and can’t make changes to the home?

You can make a few small changes that will repay themselves over a reasonably short period of time.

Wash laundry in cold water.
Make sure your car is well maintained, with properly inflated tires and clean air filters.
Remind the landlord to replace air filters in the heating/cooling systems.
Ask for compact florescent bulbs if he supplies them, or buy them yourself if you are responsible.
Make sure the coils on the refrigerator are clean and that there is clear and free flowing air space around the refrigerator.
Use box fans instead of the air conditioner when feasible. By pulling cool air into the house at night, you reduce the amount of air conditioning you have to use in the day time.
Use overhead fans or box fans to move the air in the room, and you can raise the temperature on the thermostat and reduce the amount of AC you need.

Reduce, reuse, and recycle the things you bring into the home. Be wary of overly packaged products. They are often more expensive than more simply packaged products. You’ll wind up tossing the packaging as soon as the product is opened, so buying products with less wasteful packages leaves you less to toss or recycle.

The next time your daughter wants a new "fad" item, remind her that such things require the use of resources to manufacture and transport, and when she’s done with it, it has to be disposed of. Ask her to think about whether the item is really worth the risk to the environment and whether she will be able to keep it out of a landfill. Not only might she bug you less for toys she doesn’t really need, but she’ll become more aware of her own buying habits.

You may not have a garden for a compost pile, but perhaps your scraps could go to a neighbor or a community garden. That might be a bit much for some people, but you’ll never know if you don’t ask.

Rugs over bare flooring make the room warmer in the winter time. Carpets made of recycled fibers are more widely available now than just a few years ago.

Use and reuse a clean glass bottle like the kind tea comes in rather than one-use water bottles. Ask your landlord to consider installing a reverse osmosis system. If he will not, buy a pitcher with a filter in it or an "at the tap filter" to get water that is as good as most of the water that comes in bottles, any way. Te filters are far less expensive and far less damaging to the environment than the millions of little plastic bottles.

Ask your daughter to be sure to turn the tv off when it isn’t in use. Further, plug it and any peripheral devices (Dvd players, stereo speakers, etc,) into a power strip, and turn the power strip off any time the system isn’t going to be in use for an hour or more. Do the same for your computer and any other electrical items that have a "power on" light. My printer, speakers, cable router and computer are turned off at the power strip any time I’m going to be away from them more than three hours.

Unplug "chargers" when they are not in use or plug them into a power strip and turn the power strip off.

Remind your daughter to turn the water off when she brushes her teeth. Have her switch from a tub bath to a 5 minute shower to save water.

If you don’t have access to a clothes line, you can get a rack that sets up in the tub to air-dry some items of clothing. Some of my husband’s shirts go from the washer straight to hangers, but this won’t work for all clothing. Still any that don’t have to be dried in a dryer are a saving both in power bills and to the environment.

Added as edit – To the happy face below my post = EXCELLENT links! Good on ya!

What are some thing to keep in mind if you are making a green living house?

admin — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 02:29:28 +0000

By green I mean earth friendly. I want to know how to make a really well design house, maybe a beach house

Placement on the site, placement of the windows or natural light sources, and the surrounding landscaping are critical. There is a good argument for summer and winter energy reduction through the use of roof over-hangs/porches of 18" or more. We seem to be returning to "zones" throughout the house for both heating and cooling. Window coverings seem to passively mitigate winter and summer extremes pretty well too; in hot/high sun areas this includes exterior shutter arrangements. Essentially, the best way to reduce energy use is to reduce the need to use it in the first place. It makes the operational costs cheaper too.

I have three general concerns about many of the "efficient" houses I see. The first is that there is something "wrong" in my view when one must run one or more fans for hours on end because the house is sealed so tight that the air must be exchanged with outside air using an energy source. Back in the day, and the days before that day, when you wanted fresh air in a place you opened a window. While you may not want to need to open a window when the snow is blowing sideways at 50mph, I think that simply the ability to periodically open windows for fresh air and to circulate air within the house makes things more comfortable with less energy use; for those hot summer days, being able to passively draw cool air from off the beach’s water while pushing interior hot air outside would be nice. The second is that I’m not fully convinced that many of the "green" houses are particularly survivable should there be a house fire. My concern is not so much the sporead of the fire but, the fumes generated. The third is that it seems as if a number of the "green" house designs are not built with repairs in mind. Some are built with cement encased radiant heating and cooling systems and other features designed to last 20 years, or even 50 years. In the world of modular houses, 20 years is a long time; although I’ve seen some 40 year old plus trailers in pretty darned great condition with proper maintenance. In the world of stick houses, it is not. Even 50 years is not that long in the world of better built and better maintained stick houses. It would seem that repair, repair access, and replacement capabilities would be more "green" than building a shorter lived structure.

are fluorescent tubes environmentally friendly, or is there a better way of lighting your home?

admin — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 02:29:15 +0000

We live in a basement flat and have to have the lights on all the time as we have no windows at all, we have tubes is the is the most environmentally friendly way to light our home??

Fluorescent lighting is environmentally friendly — for the same amount of light produced they use up to 75% less electricity than incandescent lighting. Electricity ultimately comes from the power plants burning fossil fuels and releasing greenhouse gases, so saving electricity also reduces greenhouse emissions.

On the flip side, fluorescent lighting contains a small amount of mercury, and we definitely don’t want any more mercury getting into the soil and oceans. While homeowners are allowed to throw away fluorescent tubes/lights in the trash, a better option is to dispose of them at a local recycling center so that the mercury can be contained.

In addition, the ballasts used in the fluorescent tube lights used to contain PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), which are carcinogens and environmental poisons. New ballasts don’t use PCBs but it’s important to dispose of old fluorescent lighting fixtures safely if they do.

should school systems include lessons on living eco friendly to better educate the youth?

admin — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 02:29:03 +0000

The purpose of school is to teach students important disciplines like math, science, history etc.

Marxist indoctrination into sick idealogies is completely inappropriate…even illegal and unconstitutional. One day, parents are going to gather enough support to kick out the teachers unions. Then, any liberal idiot who tries this crap will be instantly fired on the spot.
