Greywater: A Way for Everyone to Make a Difference
Posted June 12th, 2008 by Mike.DelponteWhat is greywater?
Water that’s kinda dirty because it’s been used once, but clean enough to be used for something else.
Examples: Water from rinsing fruit that can be used to then water plants; or water from washing hands, laundry, or dishes that can be reused to flush the toilet.
Why I use greywater:
Last year I saw this Greentime video and began using greywater in my apartment. I was amazed by how easy it is to save lots of water.
Iron Man and Social Responsibility
Posted June 5th, 2008 by Mike.DelponteAt Conscious Lifestyle, social responsibility means realizing how our lives and institutions affect other humans, animals, and the environment; and then doing everything we can to benefit, or at least not harm, those entities. Social responsibility involves awareness, concern for others, and courage to do the right thing. I started Conscious Lifestyle as a way to replace apathy and extreme self-interest with social responsibility.
