It’s well established now both that global warming is a very real international crisis akin to the threat of nuclear holocaust in its end result, and the threat is increasing with every day, and every plane taken by every traveller, and every car taken down the road. .. and every golf course that uses water that spreads fertilizer and pesticide around the near countryside, when the land could be returned to native trees for more oxygen for us all, and for birds to in turn help promote growth of more trees elsewhere.

People travel across the world just to see ‘beautiful nature’ and go hiking amongst the trees in New Zealand - more than the number of people who go there to play golf - so for local tourist opportunities in other countries too, it makes sense to plant more trees, and reduce, reuse and recycle old golf courses.

Save the world! Reclaim your local golf course for nature, the birds, the trees, and oxygen for you and your grandchildren to breath, now!

Frank L asked:


I have lots of old devices lying around with rechargeable batteries that I want to get rid of. Cell phones, laptops, cordless vacuum cleaners, etc. Everyone says not to throw these things in the garbage but I don’t know where or how to recycle them. My city only recycles plastic and aluminum. What should I do?

I have a lot of office paper that I shred on a monthly basis. Does anyone have any good ideas on what i can reuse/recycle this paper for? Seems like just a waste to keep throwing it out.

I just bought new space-saver hangers and have a lot of usable plastic hangers I want to get rid of? Where can I bring them for use or recycle? I live in the Poughkeepsie, NY area.

How to start being eco friendly?

I would like to know how I can jump start being more eco friendly as a family. I am already known by friends and family as a “treehugger” because I make an effort to be environmentally friendly.
What I do so far is this- I use cloth grocery bags.
I recycle all plastic glass and metals.(we use cardboard and paper as firestarters in our firepit).
I have a compost bin in our yard so I don’t fill bags with compostable stuff.
We closely watch our heating and cooling settings.
We use biodegradable cat litter.
I use eco friendly cleaning products.
I walk everywhere in town I can walk.

Im 7 months pregnant, trying to figure out more ways to be eco friendly, how to have an eco friendly baby- I will be using reuseable diapers (www.gdiapers.com), making my own baby food, nursing not formula feeding, using natural baby products.
I am looking for more ideas on little things to do around the house to reuse, recycle, and be even more eco minded. Tips appreciated! On a small budget!
