Hi.. Ingrid, our main problem is _wasted_ energy but there are so many ways to conserve it efficiently.. Not only wasted energy but also inefficient sources of energy that are pollutants......there is a massive business park, the main football stadium and out of town shops powered from just one wind turbine - and that wind turbine also contributes to the national grid......clean, environmentally friendly sources of power are the way to go IMO - yes, conserve energy where possible but the solution is more than that - clean energy generation like harnessing wind/sun/water is the way to go. This does not impact the environment, other than I guess people might say wind turbines/solar panels are unslightly...but I would counter this by the sight of a coal powered power station bellowing smoke into the air is far uglier - BTW I like wind turbines Then of course we need to look at recycling our waste products - all the stuff that goes to landfill contributes to build ups of methane gas and of course there has to be a limit as to how much of our rubbish/trash we can actually bury.....it really doesn't take too much effort to sort the stuff - currently our council won't recycle food stuffs but I heard of a gizmo that does just this (so even less going into landfill)....it is called a green cone. The link is a UK one but you'll get the general idea:- http://www.greencone.com/home.asp?lang=1 And of course, one of the biggest frustrations is the amount of packaging used when we do buy stuff - OK cutting back might cause a crisis in the packaging manufacturing industry but it sure would cut down on waste and the energy used to produce the stuff that we just open and throw away....
