The small steps of writing for the environment
Florence
"I had taps installed to avoid running the water for the right temperature.
For the children's bath, I have a small capacity bath, it allows to limit the consumption of water.
I just had my windows replaced (which were to date from the construction of the house in 1940): better insulation = energy savings.
I try not to take the car to 300 m, but with children, I admit that it is not so easy!
Our toilets have toilet flushes with two buttons. "
Laurence
"I never let my car's engine spin if I have to wait.
I always have a small foldable bag on my back so I do not always use plastic bags when shopping.
When I walk on the beach and find a bottle or a plastic bag I pick them up and put them in the trash. These are small things but if everyone does as much to preserve theenvironmentI think it would be good already. "
Amelie
"I do not leave any electrical devices in standby (TV, Hi-Fi system, everything is always disconnected ... except the alarms I confess, because to put them back on time every day, it would not be very funny when even...).
I only take showers, no baths.
I only take public transport (ok I do not have a car but if I had one ... well I would prefer to be stuck against the big-man-all-dripping in the subway ... ).
I do not buy detergent wipes that make a maximum of waste and that are very polluting for theenvironment. "
Benjamin
"I avoid producing waste, I do not have a printer at home, and I drink tap water: I do not need it to be delivered to me by truck in plastic bottles packaged in factories to find it drinkable.With my wife we try to use mainly the care products or the most natural care possible.We consume much less chemical substances, we lessen our skin and lungs and we are aware less to allergies. "
Cyril-Claire
"I pick up garbage when I see them in the middle of nature.
I never throw my butt on the floor.
I use the water recovered in my dryer or my dehumidifier to water my plants.
I sensitize my children not to run water for nothing.
I favor the least packaged foods possible.
I am an active member of Greenpeace (donations, demonstrations, sittings ...). "
Marie-Lucie
"I use public transport or my bike is more green.
I never throw things in the street.
I never buy products that multiply packaging.
I sensitize my girls to waste. "
