I try not to use any. My system is hibernated every night - and I
don't drive. I recycle as much as I possibly can (I would do more but
our local council doesn't take high-density polyurethane (HDPE) which
is what the tops of the milk 'tanks' you can buy in most supermarkets
are made from). I refill my ink cartridges, and I never print unless
it's absolutely necessary, then the results, if not used, are turned
into phone pads.


You must save quite a lot of money doing these things. What do you spend the
money on that you saved? It's highly likely that you spend it on things or
services that consume resources.

Ultimately, to make a real difference, there simply needs to be less of us
on this planet.

Though I'm not planning to leave anytime soon myself...

Exactly right.


The reduction of human consumption will not come voluntarily nor will
the demise of the human race.

It is likely to be forced upon us by environmental catastrophy or
nuclear wars brought about by shortage of global resources.
