What are the best ways to “Go Green”
Nowadays, "go green" has become a very popular topic. What do you do everyday to help the environment better or what are the best ways to go green as an individual?
For me, I usually take metro or walk to my student's office (if it's within the walking distance). I actually save a lot of money by doing this. Now Shanghai is in it's hot summer day, I set my air condition a few degrees higher to save cooling costs. (I normally keep it between 25-27 degree).
Besides, I also unplug appliances when I am not using them, especially for desktop, TV and micro-wave.
The other thing I found for "go green" is to Invest in high-quality, long-lasting products. You may pay more but it will last for longer time. For example, you can buy a Mac Book Pro at a price of USD1299 and use it for at least 4 years or you can buy "ThinkPad".
Also, have you guys tried to take shorter showers in order to reduce water use. It sounds funny but this will lower your water and heating bills too. I think it is difficult for girls to do this.
Any other ways?
