5 WAYS TO BE MORE ECO FRIENDLY

ecofriendly

SAVE WATER

If you feel that you must drink bottled water due to bad quality faucet water then buy it in 5 gallon recyclable containers and not small plastic bottles and use a reusable handy portable container to pour the water in.

Fix all faucet and commode leaks.

Shower and don’t bathe and if you have a white collar job then only wash your hair, armpits, crotch area, and feet where smells originate. Don’t wash off the natural oils on your skin which are superior to skin care products.

When you urinate don’t always flush but wait until you sense a strong urine smell in the commode and only then flush. On average this means that you will only have to flush once every 4 or 5 times that you urinate.

SAVE WILDERNESS

You should join and make contributions to wildlife conservation organizations.  It will help conserve and in the future hopefully expand wilderness real estate. Taking animals and plants out of the wilderness is not a good long duration technique for saving them so don’t support zoos.

RECYCLE

Glass is the only eco friendly resource which should be recycled but while we are still using metals, plastic, and paper then recycle them also.

PLANT MORE TREES

Trees are more efficient at transforming carbon dioxide into oxygen and cellulose than grass so plant more of them.

SAVE ENERGY OR ELECTRICITY

Turn off lights in a room when not in it and use efficient LED lighting if possible and reduce the wattage of your light bulbs. Our ancestors functioned well with only candle light and you can too by using less wattage if you only use the computer and TV most of the time.

Turn your water heater to about 110 degrees Fahrenheit or 43 degrees Celsius.

If you take quick showers you won’t have to mix scalding water with cold water to get skin temperature water that will last the duration of the shower.

Drive an economy car which gets about 40 miles per gallon of gas since we are still living in the real world and electric cars are still a long way off or switch to diesel power engines which run on recycled vegetable oil.

Build a passive house if you can afford it which uses the least amount of energy per year and if you have a very old house then insulate it better, eliminate door and window leaks, and put in double pane glass windows with no air in between if possible.

THE TRUTH ABOUT BRAINWASHING***

brainwashing

Brainwashing is getting you to obey or believe untruths, deceptions, lies, and ways of doing things without asking questions or thinking about the real truth of things. How this is done may not be obvious to you and there are 6 basic ways that brainwashing is accomplished.

Chanting slogans and excitedly corralling in unison with a group shuts out the logical reasoning questioning powers of the brain.

Deceptively adding bullshit or allegations of possible wrongdoing into your subconscious mixed with some truth and facts can genuinely mislead you into false beliefs and opinions or unproven suspicions.

Cultishly controlling or monopolizing what you watch or read can isolate your thinking and behavior along only biased acceptable lines of thinking and behaving.

Shaming you and ridiculing you for a different point of view or behavior is designed to intimidate you into obediently following without questioning in the future.

Arguing with black or white, yes or no, always or never, and good or bad choices which are emphasized so you don’t have the courage to question and maybe find out that infrequently, sometimes, and frequently are the true answers.

Always phrasing issues as us versus them or us versus the enemy and appealing to the instinctual herd instinct that your group is always better than the other group and your group’s beliefs and behaviors must survive and triumph at all costs.

Note these devious brainwashing techniques are used much on young and old offspring to get obedience to parental beliefs, opinions, and behaviors so you can thank much of what you do and say to the brainwashing tactics of your parents, role models, friends, teachers, and the media. You may think that brainwashing for a good cause or to get good results is justifiable but you will not readily create open mindedness, tolerance, and much logical thinking with a brainwashing approach.

A much more detailed account of these 6 brainwashing techniques is given in this link to a cracked.com article:
