Going Green

Status: 
Complete
Description: 

I live in a place, where fertilizers and pesticides are something very new in farming, as new as 4-5 years back. I gew up with organic food, and vegetables from my backyard. My father is an environmental activist, and I started banning the use of plastic from a very small age. I stayed in United States for 3 years for my education, and my biggest problem there was the food! I feel very sorry for the developed countries for their quality of food. Even the fruits and vegetables and injected with preservaties. forget the meat. so we need to start changing fast!

we have been trying to stop mass farming in Nepal and continue the sustainable way of farming.

What Al Gore ignored too...

Status: 
In Progress
Description: 

Animals raised for food contribute more carbon emissions to the atmosphere than all forms of transportation combined. I can't afford an electric car yet, but I also can't afford to eat animals. They're bad for me. They're carcinogenic and harmful to my cardiovascular health and, most importantly, killing and abusing others because I'm too lazy to find another way to survive is bad for my spirit.

For that same reason, I will pressure my political leaders from the city assembly all the way up to the president and every corrupt beefeater in between to stop our country from conducting terror campaigns against other countries (and our own citizens). We waste an unrecoverable amount of resources and create more harm to the earth and our fellow human beings through this selfishness than we can ever repair. Our species cannot survive this century if we will not evolve enough to stop institutionalizing violence.

Yes, I'll recycle everything at my home, work, and school that can be recycled in my town and advocate for expansion of our recycling program. I'll also recycle my body by donating blood when the blood bank comes to town and keeping myself a healthy candidate for organ donation, and part of that will be riding my bicycle more. But the most important thing I can do to save the world for the next generation is to bring peace to the earth beginning with me.

GREEN TOWNS INITIATIVES

Status: 
In Progress
Description: 

 

 

A group of four dedicated women forming an organization derived from Columbia County Green Towns Initiatives to GREEN the village of Chatham NY.

The whole process will be documented, filmed and published as a blue/green print for other small villages and towns across the Northeast USA.

Our first mission will be to apply for a grant to do an extensive energy audit of Main Street Chatham which has approx. 20 buildings, go through the process of contacting owners and vendors, government licenses and NYSEG our electric company. The object is to put solar pannels on top of all the roofs on Main Street. Once the audit is done and we know what we are dealing with, we will go for a larger grant to get this done.

We anticipate working on this first stage of audit and solar roof in our first year, for this action we will rent an office on Main Street where we can meet and set up the blueprint work that we are envisioning.
