Now before I come off as completely un-environmentally friendly let me just prefix this with some things.

1. I don’t own a car. When I go shopping I walk to and from the supermarket and to and from other shops. If its out of walking distance most of the time I catch public transport.
2. I pay extra on my electricity bill for “green” electricity. (Although for a few dollars a week extra how green is it other wise why not just make everyone pay it?) I look forward to the day when I am in my own home and can go 100% solar and not pay any electricity bills and feel less guilty about all the electrical things I run.
3. I have talked to my building manager about recycling and what can be done to make it available. Its not available in my building. It really should be like normal houses.
4. I don’t use plastic bags from the supermarket if its only a few items and I can carry them on my walk home.

Now with that out of the way let the ranting begin…
