What can you do?

Maybe you will think these suggestions are not really something original. I haven't been able to come up with something better, however, so here's my 5¢ rant:

1. Educate yourself on the issues of environment protection, arguments for and against.
   For example, you may start with learning how McFastFood contributes to the destruction of rain forests. As an example, click here!

2. Have you seen this South African movie comedy where a coke bottle falls from heaven right down to the campfire of some bushmen? In one of the last scenes you see a driveway in a suburb with houses and cars left and right. Someone gets in a car, drives to the other side of the road and puts an envelope into a mailbox! It would have be healthier and cheaper for that person to walk to the other side of the road.

   You can save energy where it isn't needed anyway. For example, many TV sets, video recorders, and other electric devices have a 'standby' facility which e.g. lets you switch on the TV faster. Still, this consumes a little amount of energy, though less than full operation, say 15 watts instead of 80.

   Still, because you never really switch the damn thing off, this can sum up considerably. For example about 10% of the entire electrical energy used in Germany is due to standby consumption of TV sets, computers, and other appliances.
