It is extremely important that we are all made aware of just how our actions affect the life of our planet and the US can play a large part in protecting the future by taking on board the environmentally friendly schemes and suggestions of other countries in the world. Now I am from America and personally I found it quite hard to comprehend that another country could be performing better then the US in the recyclable stakes, it was hard to understand how we could be failing where others succeeded and so began the start of my one woman mission to ensure that every person I met, lived next door to, and really anyone I could find, knew about. For instance the biggest change I have made to may life is to install residential solar panels onto my house. I really do recommend them to everyone interested in helping save the planet’s resources. The list is so long for what solar heating panels can do for your home. I find that many people have a good old look at my house whenever they pass by and I never mind going outside to answer any of the questions that they may have about the solar panels, after all, I am eager to do whatever I can do to ensure the survival of the planet and so want to inform others of what they can do too.
Most of the people I have told about Germanys way of life, have agreed with me that more people in America must be advised how to sav energy using solar panels and also what to recycle. This inspired me to look into more eco friendly alternatives instead of relying on home solar power kits only. Most of the furniture made these days is so covered in toxic paints or waxes that they should not be allowed. I believe that stores should always have a range or organic recyclable furniture as well as the normal, just as a grocery store does with food, in this way everyone would be able to see just how nice recycled furniture can be. No one wishes for our planet to be devoid of forests, but this is the way it is going should we continue to produce furniture in the production lines like we do and throw them away needlessly only to cut down more. If you are desperate for brand new furniture then you can always go for that which has been made from the wood of well maintained forests. Whilst living in a more eco-friendly environment I was also taught the importance of not allowing the tap to drip, as well as the benefits of solar power, but we are all guilty of tap dripping I am sure. Of course the more I see that renewable energy, such as wind farms and solar power has begun to be more popular the happier I am, in this case the increases in farmers using wind farms to generate power is large.
I loved researching all the different products that you can buy in order to make your life more eco-friendly and I’m sure you will too, it is a great lifestyle. I am just glad that more and more I am seeing people walking about with organic shopping bags, useful for not only grocery shopping but everyday use, for carrying work folders, swimming clothes, gym gear and the list could go on. My family now only buy groceries that have come from somewhere local rather than imported produce that is not as fresh and more expensive and will always look at renewable alternatives. You will find you spend a lot less on local goods then anything imported. You can always re-furnish your home gradually; nothing has to be drastic as even small changes still benefit the planet and installing solar power is actually relatively easy. . If our generation can leave one lasting impression behind for our children and their children’s children it should be that we cared for our planet and did our very best to ensure its survival then I believe we should and to start with this means buying more recyclable products.
Solar power is an extremely eco friendly power source that everyone should utilize to the best of their ability. I am most certainly a fan of residential solar panels, especially when living in sunny USA and if Europe can do it, even in the UK, where to be honest sunshine is pretty rare, then surely we should be able to do it too.
