GOING GREEN INFO: In reference to cleaning:?

electric — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 04:00:50 +0000

I know there are green cleaning products. My question is this, is it better to use paper towels to clean with (making more trash-recycle) OR using a cloth that would have to be washed (therefore using more water and electricity)? Any other green cleaning tips would be appreciated.

What are your ideas for going green?

In the spirit of earth day coming up, what are some habits/ideas/aspirations for going green? By this i mean the little things that everybody can do, but build up for a lot. Ex: reducing your use of plastic water bottles, turning the lights of when you leave the room to conserve electricity, or limiting your use of paper on a daily basis then recycling that you do use.

So? What are your green habits?

Does my Macbook Pro Stop Charging Once the Light Turns Green?

electric — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 01:01:13 +0000

I have a 13″ mid-2009 Macbook Pro. I want to be able to keep the built in battery for as long as possible. This requires me to take out the charger once the battery is full, unless it stops charging the battery. When the light turns green, does my computer run on the electricity provided by the charger or does it also charge the battery?

Help me, if Electric cars are good then how about the power plants polluting to make the electricity?

Electric cars need electricity made by environmentally polluting Power plants and we will need more of these polluting power plants for all the cars replaced, so how is it green?
Help me here please.
Coal burning power plants
Gas burning
Nuclear power

at the moment Solar, wind and Hydro plants are not enough for the current need

so we would need the polluting plants increased

If you plug your care into the wall outlet, wouldn’t you be paying a high electricity bill, but saving on gas?

Also, if your local plant is a coal burning plant, would the extra electricity use equate to increase coal emissions? Where is the green benefit in that? Where is the money saving benefits?
sorry Car not Care.

Looking to change electricity supplier in the UK.?

I’ve just moved into a new flat, ex council stock, and it has a power card meter in it. It is prohibitively expensive, and an utter pain to get cards for the things, so I’m looking to change supplier and payment meter.
Does anyone know where is best to go to get decent ‘green’ electricity. My wee boy has convinced me to go for a company which doesn’t destroy the planet (pester power works even when changing pwoer supplier).

Does being green mean you support global warming?

Does being green mean you support global warming? I do not support global warming in there beliefs, but I do believe in helping the planet and reducing electricity use, picking up litter and that stuff.

Who should design my green/eco friendly home 30 Ml west of Portland, OR?

electric — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 02:04:19 +0000

We want to have built a solar/green/eco friendly home about 30 miles west of Portland, Oregon, in the country. I need an architect who is not too fancy and doesn’t overcharge, but is competent, has contacts, experienced, and good ideas for folks who choose not the mainstream but something beautiful and unique. We want the house built only to sheetrock as we want to do much of the inside/finishing work ourselves. We read Mother Earth Mag and like the back-to-basics things we see in there. We would rather have quality than quantity and love the wood/rock/metal combination with earthy tones. Budget is 0,000 max including permits, etc. Already have well, electricity, and septic on site.

Electricity and the “Green” Craze?

Why should we look to the AMISH ?

Wouldn’t having an electric car send your electricity bill through the roof?

electric — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 07:03:13 +0000

I guess I am not green enough to understand–the purpose of the electric car is to make the world a better place. Would getting a car that runs all on electricity cost you a lot for your electricity bill? I didn’t know if it was something you had to plug in, like an electric golf cart. In the end, wouldn’t you pay more for electricity then gas. Explain.
