Go to Post I'm absolutely certain there are simpler ways of accomplish the same things. I'm simply not the best that FIRST has to offer in this regard and part of what drives me to keep going is the desire to get better at achieving an elegant solution with as few superfluous processes as possible. - Madison [more]

How Green Are You?

This can be moved if wanted for more discussion. But Basically I was wondering how "Green" People are. In other words how power efficient are you, your household, you car? This thread can can be a compliation of questions, or answers or a discussion or tips or whatever you guys want. I just thought it would be a interesting discussion.

Do you leave your lights on in your house?
What kind of bulbs do you use? What wattage? 3 way?
Do you have any light control units? (motion sensing, darkness sensing, etc)
Do you bother having outside lights on?
Do you currently own energy start appliances?
Do you plan on geting any? ^
Do you over use appliances?
Do you have neglectable use of appliances? (leaving tv on when your not there, etc)
Do you leave your computer on all night? (uses energy, creates heat)
Do you have window coverings? to block heat but let light in?
Do you have skylights? (helps with natural lighting)
Do you have bulky appliances? (too big of a tv, etc)
Do you leave your AC on?
Do you leave your heat on?
What temp is your house at? Have you considered changing it a few degrees?

How long is your shower? Water temp?
Do you use fans?
How many gallons per flush does your toilette use?
How often do you vaccuum?
Do you have solar panels? Wind Turbine?
How gas efficent is your car? What type of gas do you use? Do you drive in a fuel efficient way? Auto or standard?
how ofter do you mow your lawn? Type of mower? (bigger is more $ for up keep and more gas)
How much land do you mow? Do you let cows cut your grass for you? Sheep?
Warn or cold water when you do dishes in the sink? When you wash your hands?
Do you over produce food? (make too much)
Eat more natural foods? (fruit, veggies, lower production costs, lower production energy before it hits the consumer)
Is your AC unit on the roof? (Cold air falls)
Is your heater in the basement? (heat rises)
Do you have a deck?
Have you used recycled materials for anything in your home?
How much does a kWHr cost in your area?

I will add more questions if I can think of any also feel free to add any.
