Your Questions About Green Living

George asks…

TEENS: How eco-friendly are you?

Reposting for as many results as possible for my map. I’ve had some people think this is a lecture, it really is just research, I want to map the USA, UK and Canada (if I get enough results that is) in red, orange and green. Anyhoo…

Quick quiz – you get an answer and I get coursework help 😀

Question One: How would you describe your diet?
A) Meat Eater
B) Vegetarian
C) Vegan

Question Two: How often do you buy organic fruit and vegetables?
A) Rarely
B) Occasionally
C) Often

Question Three: How much of your waste do you recycle?
A) None
B) Some
C) Most

Question Four: What vehicle do you use for personal transport?
A) Car
B) Motorbike
C) Bicycle or none

Question Five: How many hours have you spent flying in the last year?
A) 25+
B) 12-24
C) 0-11 hours

Question Six: How often do you purchase locally produced food items?
A) Rarely
B) Sometimes
C) Often

Question Seven: How long do you spend commuting per week?
A) 25+ hours
B) 11-24 hours
C) 0-10 hours

Mostly A: Your eco-footprint is much bigger than it should be! By implementing a few simple techniques you can reduce it! Recycling, walking and taking public transport more often, eating less meat and buying local organic produce are all great way sto reduce your eco-footprint!

Mostly B: You’re doing some things well, but a few simple changes can bring you up to scratch! Donating your old clothes to charity shops or clothes banks, composting your food, and growing your own fruit and vegetables can all reduce your eco-footprint.

Mostly C: Great job! You’re on track to be a perfect eco-warrior – but there are still other things you can do! Encourage others to recycle and maybe start a carpool with those who live near!

One last thing – please tell me where you’re from (nearest major city, or state if you’re from the US) as I’m making a colour map of these results
Thank you!
Just to clarify, not claiming to be an eco-warrior, really just research, I eat meat too 😀

Richard asks…

what is the best decor to use in a new childrens clothes shop,and what is the best background music to use?

looking for ideas for the style of decor to use in a new childrens retail store,and also maybe some ideas regarding suitable background music/mood music in the shop. the shop will have clothes aimed at the top end of the market and there will also be a good selection of ‘tradefair’/eco friendly clothing ranges.any ideas would be greatly appreciated,especially if someone has previous experience of this kind of thing..the shop will be on the outskirts of new york city,opening in december.it will stock clothes for very young children,up to 4 or 5years,with a big emphisis on 0 -1 year olds.

The Expert answers:

My children LOVE the music of Babi Floyd. They visibly get calm and soothed when they listen to it. They would find a rain forest type decor appealing and it would be appropriate with the eco-friendly idea. Sounds like a great business you are starting. Like to do that myself someday. Hope you are VERY successful.

Sharon asks…

ideology related to environmental and social sustainability.

2. A garment produced in keeping with a collective set of beliefs and principles related to the environment and sustainability in particular.

The Expert answers:

Both of them are nominal phrases, not sentences. A sentence requires a subject and a predicate.

David asks…

I need help with getting rid of old clothing.?

I always donate my old clothes to the Salvation Army. However, I don’t know what to do with old pieces that are not wearable (e.g. ripped t-shirts, socks, etc). I know that there’s got to be a way to make use of old fabric without throwing it away. I’m very ecofriendly and support recycling, so please help me find a solution!

The Expert answers:

You can donate them to the Salvation Army as well. Unusable clothing is bundled up for recycling. The clothing that can be repaired is sent to 3rd world countries for repair and distribution. None of it goes to waste.

Joseph asks…

where to find a wholesome, spiritual or eco-friendly job?

I am a 21 year old girl living in the republic of ireland and I want to have a job that is beneficial to me and other people. I have no qualifications, but I am willing to work hard and get dirty, but I just want to do something that won’t increase my carbon footprint by too much. Does such a job exist? I don’t want to sell clothes made by chinese kids and shipped halfway round the world, I just want to do something ‘good’. Unfortunately, like most people, I need a job that pays so I have to rule out voluntary work. So any suggestions? Please tell me of some job I could do or some company that is a little health or eco concerned….

The Expert answers:

It’s not a full time job, but I started making my own natural cleaning products a while back, and have only just begun to sell them online. Y items aren’t exactly flying off the shelves yet (it’s been 5 weeks), but I find the experience rewarding and it’s bringing in some extra spending money at least!
