Bathing in this stuff seems like a particularly carbon-consuming action.
Um, misunderstanding much? You might want to re-read that post.
And yes, I have an 8 litre drum my brother fills up for me, from work, with distilled water. He'd be driving to work anyway, y'know?
Me, I walk to work and back, four miles each way, as I believe I've mentioned before in the fasting thread.
All household waste is recycled chez Money $hot, including organic waste, which is actually among the biggest problems of them all (as it's usually wrapped in plastic).
This is my mate's company, and if you get one of these digesters it turns all the organic waste from your consumption into nutrient rich, useful compost. Plus, you know, it pays his way. Even if you don;t have a garden, or allotment, maybe you know someone who does?
Do you have any useful tips or hints for how to reduce your carbon imprint Nina? Another friend of mine is investigating how to make bio-diesel, and convert his car engine to run on vegetable oil, which apparently is very do-able. It's a fascinating topic.
Apparently, if you can generate sufficient electricity from alternative, carbon free sources for businesses or venue's etc. the power companies will gladly buy any and all excess back off you.
For cleansing retreats, ashrams, schools of yoga and such like which encourage lengthy stays (of more than a few days, say) this is a fantastic way to promote and benefit the system generally...anyone who stays will have a negative carbon footprint for as long as they remain in residence.
It's a foetus of a developing plan I have for the next ten years, actually, my retirement scheme. I'd be very interested to hear any further ideas you may have. Perhaps in another thread? |
