저는 더위를 많이 타는 체질이라 9월까지 제 방 에어컨을 애용합니다. 선풍기를 쓰면 되지 않느냐는 분들이 계실텐데 제가 안구건조증이 심해서 선풍기와 함께 살 수 없답니다. 에어컨 사용량이 많은 저로서는 양심의 가책을 많이 느꼈거든요. 그래서 전 항상 에어컨 가동 예약 시스템을 사용해서 잠이 든 후 1~2시간이 지나면 자동으로 꺼지게 합니다. 또한 에어컨 가동량을 줄이기 위해 구립도서관에 가서 공부를 하곤 합니다.

하나더 ㅎ 각방에 가재손수건을 두었어요. 2~3개씩 빨아쓰기도 쉽고 가볍거든요. 방바닥에 뭐만 떨어져도 화장지 많이 쓰잖아요. 화장지 만들려면 나무도 많이 베어야 한다던데^^;; 각방에 안쓰는 손수건 (아기용품점에서 파는 손수건이 가장 좋은것같아요) 놔두시면 화장지 사용량이 급격하게 줄어든답니다. ^^

가방에 작게 접어지는 장바구니를 항상 가지고 다녀요~ 갑자기 무엇을 살때도 비닐 봉투를 쓸 필요가 없거든요.^^ 빨래는 세탁기 사용은 하지 않고 여름옷들은 손빨래로 한답니다. 운동 대신이라고 생각하며 하면 전기도 절약, 물도 절약 즐거워요. 재생비누를 사용하면 일반 세제로 세탁할때의 섬유냄새등이 전혀 나지 않아 너무 좋아요^^

These descriptions are not descriptive. <br />Doesn't it make more sense to invest in an artificial tree once and re-use it every year; rather than chop a live one from its roots to selfishly cover in tinsle and lights, look at for 3 or 4 weeks, then discard? Recycling real trees is still wasteful.

The trees are potted, they are NOT cut. They are planted in the ground again after they get back to the tree farm. NOTHING goes to the land fill. You can also watch the tree grow with your children. These trees can be used for other events like weddings and such so it actually works for the environment not against it.

I'm not sure where it is but a company has opened up and is Renting live trees out to people. You get them for the season and return it afterwards. You can even request the same tree the next year. I believe this should be something that should be done more often as the trees don't die and as business grows so do the number of trees in the local area. The trees are alive so they will filter your home air too.

This isn't really clear... Are we talking about sending a fake christmas tree to recycling, or doing something with a real christmas tree after the holiday?

Better. My act of green is to choose to not purchase another live tree (or phony one for that matter) that will require recycling. There are other ways to decorate/celebrate without being consumptive and wasteful. <br />

Never going to have a live xmas tree again. <br />What a silly waste to kill a tree for a dumb holiday.
