YesterdayI watched Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth". I saw and heard nothing new and yet I was bewildered by the fact that although I've always known that we have a serious environmental problem, I haven't done anything in particular to minimize the negative effect of my activities.
Do I save energy?
No. I keep my laptop turned on during the night in order to listen to the music. Can't I use the mp3 player with rechargeable batteries insted? Or simply set the laptop to be turned off in 30 minutes as in the meanwhile it's running on its battery only?
No. I leave the lights turned on in a room I'm not using at the moment. There's some improvement though - recently I've started noticing and turning it off.
Do I save water?
No. I waste water when having a shower. Can't I turn it off when I'm not under it?
No. I use loads of water for cleaning and dishwashing, also for washing clothes (which ar eonly for hand-wash). Can't I close the tap when no water is needed?
Do I separate garbage?
No. Although containers for separation of waste are already placed across the city, I don't collect the garbage separately. Is it that time and space-consuming to do it?
There are a lot more things to say and do, but I guess if I just do these simple things, I might really make a contribution.
