I believe that as members of the Human Community we all need to do our part for it’s survival. My family doesn’t own a car. We take the subway everywhere. We shop for everything possible at the farmer’s market, and bring our own bags. We save our vegetable and fruit scraps in a container in the fridge, and then every few days take it to Riverside Park and bury it in a pile of leaves (natural composting!). Buying bulk food really reduces garbage, too. We eat vegetarian diets and only buy humane dairy (this is difficult, but farmer’s markets are a good bet). New York City has some of the cleanest water in the city (apparently it is test every 20 minutes to make sure of this). There is no reason to buy water here.
It is not easy to live an earth-friendly life in a consumerist country, but it is important to do so.
