Living Green

GREEN LIVING

For me, green living is living within the Eco system responsibly.  That means no polluting or pouring noxious gases into the atmosphere.  Using the natural elements of nature to sustain life is green living.

Solar power, wind power, and using rain water to the ultimate is part of this plan. 

The Sun is a natural resource that is free to all. Although, there may be those who would harness its energy (if possible) and attempt to sell it only to a privileged few.  Solar energy can benefit everyone, especially  those living in deprived areas and countries.  One does not have to pay a utility company to use it.  Where there is abundant sunshine 80% of the year, this can benefit the people by providing electricity. What a blessing! Living green.

There are large appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators designed to be used with solar power. 

It seems that there is a lot of foot-dragging or some intentional obstacle to prevent people from using energy from the sun for electricity.  The greed for making money and hoarding it seems to be the impetus for not instituting solar energy into the power system for town and country.  

Controlling non renewable energy and making a profit by doling it out for a price is the greatest hindrance of developing renewable sustainable energy for the masses.

A few States in the U.S. have programs that make it affordable for the average citizen to incorporate renewable energy into the power source to generate electricity going into their home.  This is used with the local power company.  This is a great savings for the homeowner.  The local utility usually ends up paying money to the consumer for electricity not used, since usage is prorated.

Wind energy is free also. There are areas where the wind is strong enough to sustain enough power to generate electricity for near and far.

Wind turbines are starting to appear all over the world.  Instead of raising sheep a young farmer overseas decided to develop a wind farm. There is plenty of strong wind power in many areas.

Rain water is a natural resource with many uses.  As it comes down it cleanses the air, therefore, it is dirty.  Even in this form it can be used to water the plants and animals. The waterways are replenished.  

Gathering rainwater in a barrel or another large container and recycling it can save money.  Use this water for outside chores, cleaning outdoor furniture, watering the garden, washing the car, anything that does not need potable water.  

There are ways to purify the rainwater.  There are about 7, or more, stages of filtering that takes out the impurities. Living green.    

Renewable energy is here and will eventually overtake the need for purchasing electricity only from the electric company.  (My opinion)

This planet has resources for all people. No one should be in the dark, be cold or too hot, or even thirsty. goodtips
