It's Never Too Late to Start Caring for the Earth

For many years, I lived a lifestyle that was creating a huge "carbon footprint." While I knew that environmentalists would not be happy with how wasteful I was (I didn't even recycle!) and the fact that I drove to the corner store instead of walking, I really didn't think that the acts of one person could really impact the earth that much. As I grew older, I realized just how my actions impacted the earth and vowed change my life to reduce my carbon footprint. I started recycling, and then I began walking when I could instead of driving. I now own a bike and ride it almost everywhere! I want to use my experience to help others realize that it is never too late to begin living an eco-friendly lifestyle. I plan to post many tips about how to live an eco-conscious life, so come back often for them!

Installing a solar panel system on your home is an excellent way to reduce your dependence on electric or gas energy and decrease your carbon footprint at the same time. Although the cost of a solar system has come down quite a bit since they were first introduced a few decades ago, you're still looking at paying anywhere from $10,000 to $38,000 to install one, depending on where you live and the amount of energy you want the system to generate.

Can You Combat Climate Change by Switching to a Diesel Fueled Car?

Posted on 3 March 2017

You can help combat climate change and illness due to harmful fuel emissions by switching from gasoline to diesel fuel. Highway diesel fuel burns cleaner than gasoline fueled engines due to lower sulfur content--and here's why:  Less Sulfur Particulates Mean Less Harmful Emissions Here's the science in a nutshell: sulfur mixes with the atmosphere to form sulfur dioxide which rains down to the earth in fine particulate matter. Particulates have a diameter of no more than one-tenth of the diameter of human hair and can be ingested by humans. [Read More]
