I live on a property with 400 trees.
Walk to work.
Recycle religiously
Offer a sanctuary for wild life
Recycle/ treat my own sewage and water the trees with gray water produced by showers, laundry and sinks.
Solar heat our water.
Offer housing for a least 2 bee colonies.
I restore old cars that when put back into use reflect a very small carbon foot print as compared to the production of a new car. Every new car produced potentialy has a huge carbon footprint perhaps more than it will produce it's lifetime. Imagine the pollution you get from plastics factory, tanneries, steel mills. foundries and paint production just to name a few.
Green?
I also believe that the eco-nasis that terrorize small children with fabricated fantasies about Global Warming and the evils of human existence do more harm than good.
We all want fresh air, clean water and a symbiotic relationship with nature but that should be the goal not an obsession.. Lifestyle choices foisted upon entire populations by unelected bureaucrats with the sole purpose of controlling the masses is tyranny by fear.
Rant over, move along.
