The Top Ten Ways To Support Our Planet

Aloha Friends,

After reading and sorting over 1,500 responses, we give you the current Top Ten Ways To Support Our Planet.

1. Use and advocate birth control. Only have one or two children, or adopt one of the many orphans in the world today.

2. Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Conserve. Live simply. Consume less.

3. Walk, ride a bike or a horse. Drive less and carpool or take a bus or train for long trips.

4. Buy earth friendly products. Grow and buy natural/organic Fair Trade, local if you can, foods. Grow gardens instead of lawns.

5. Think globally. Live sustainably.

6. Stop using non-recyclable containers. Bring your own bags to the store. Don't use plastics.

7. Buy or convert your car to be more fuel efficient. Reduce your carbon foot-print and avoid gas as much as possible. Don't idle your vehicle.

8. Be energy efficient in your home and workplace. Use energy efficient lights, refrigerators, washer/driers, etc. Turn off lights and appliances when you are not using them.

9. Treat others as you would have others treat you. Respect and help people.

10. Always vote in public officials who will advocate for environmental laws protecting air, water, and land. Stop funding public officers who don't advocate for Earth.
