EnviroLink Forum

Welcome eco! I think you've come to the right place! Things might get a tad, er... lively around here but most everyone's heart is in the right spot. Be prepared to hear about anything and everything!

Wow, not driving?! I guess I'm too set in my ways. The car I currently put-put in is getting around 37 miles a gallon but still; the exhaust has to go somewhere, doesn't it? If only we could all hike to work, eh?

Thumbs up on the desire to be a teacher. Never seems to be enough caring ones. On stress; I've found you have to relax with as much earnest as you work. It's better to take a day off and get a little behind then try to be uber-worker and have a heart attack at 45. Find those pretty places you mention and get there regular-like. It's a life-saver.

Going all eco? There's others here more learmed then I on such but you'll get all sorts of ideas. Me, for the first time I've seriously begun thinking about someplace I can retire to, a couple acres in Wisconsin would be nice. Grow a garden, fish and hunt a bit, read and write a lot. Probably as close to paradise as you'll get in this world.

Again, welcome!

Hi, eco!

Worry not, I'm not offended at all. Hey, I know I should drive a lot less but I'm too dang lazy! But I'm working on it. When will they come out with a electric car I can efford? I would buy it in a second!

Ok, I feel what you're saying about living in town. I live in Iowa, farmland all about but I'm in a medium-size city and it's not exactly the most fun. We've had a gang problem develop the last few years(Yes! Even in Iowa!) I litterally live right on the borderline between two local 'thug-clubs'. They've left me alone but you do not walk outside your yard after dark. Oh! To live where there's trees, critters all about and quiet! Maybe some day!

Hmmm. You like animals, eh? Any chance to get into animal-rescue sort of stuff in your parts? It would be a great place to start and when you become a teacher, it's a worthy thing to pass onto your students.

Be cool, Eco!

Hi eco Caroline !
Welcome to this forum. I'm from England too. I was born in Nottingham, but now live in Staffordshire. It's great that you live in Yorkshire as I've traced my ancestry...on my father's side...back to 16th Century in Wakefield. This is a proven line, but to get any further back will be difficult. The family line may be tracable back to the Norwegian Vikings using DNA and blood types.
So, make yourself a cuppa Yorkshire tea and enjoy !

Just think, had my ancestors stayed put, we'd all three be having tea right now. Dad's side of the family can be traced to Wales.

hi and welcome.

you can get yourself an eco-friendly transportation vehicle like
the ones below(although it states not currently available).

cities and towns need to start developing transportation friendly roads and hwys where people can ride their bikes and other gas free vehicles.

some other tips people don't think about that reduce power efficiency causing more co2:

1) clean the coils at the bottom of your refrigerator
2) clean the heat duct and lint trapper in your dryer
3) change car air filter(if you own a car)
4) change a/c filter
5) change spark plug and air filter on lawn mower

ps: why don't you look into becoming an Environmental Teacher...

Horses are eco friendly and at one time the only way to go. If you are unwilling to drive (or buy a horse), you should look into an internet/home based business.

Welcome!

I always wondered what became of Eco. I was a bit concerned when she mentioned some probs she had had. Then she just didn't post anymore.
