What are some eco-conscious things you do?
In our home we do a few things-
walk when we can (pick up mail, kids from school), own a hybrid car, support local farms by buying their produce, use cloth diapers, reduce out energy uses whenever we can, try to recycle and reduce the amount of trash we throw out.

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
You may say that it isn't much, but my view is that if everyone made a small effort, including walking or cycling one journey instead of taking the car, and switching devices off when not in use, then it has to have an impact.
I don't believe that we can stop the changes that are currently taking place (global warming etc) but we can slow them down slightly. The way we have developed to live, we have speeded up the process of warming etc, therefore the planet can't adapt at a fast enough rate to compensate for the increase in temperature. If we all do our bit then we can slow down the rate of change and may be, as a consequence not just the planet, but we, as humans, can also adapt to the "new" way of existing.

That was very well written ecosrights, I completely agree with your point. Some people have a "well what am I supposed to do about it?" attitude. What they don't realize is that everyone doing a little will make a difference!
I think we have a great group of people here that are making an effort to make a difference! All we need to do is share our enthusiasm with everyone we know. :)
