I recycle every thing possible, save water by switching tap of when brushing teeth,and when soaping up in shower and no baths. Use public transport. Switch of all electric apliances when not in use the stand by light on your tv can use between 20% to 100% of the electricity as when its switched on.

As much as I would like to save Mother Earth, the whole gov't concept of going green is a lark.
They invented the electric car 50 years ago, yet they get bought by one of the big pigs and quickly hushed way.
The gov't has no plan. Going green would mean economic crumble and we can't possibly have that now....

I know showering together saves on water BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!
I should shut down the tv, don't do that, will do that from now on.
We are so far behind on things. I ws in England in jan. and noticed
differences that England had and Canada. To Bad our politians don't pick up on it. Think it might hurt the BRAIN to much for thinking it
could benefit us.

Forget the government, it will be the people that make a difference, what are you doing?

It has nothing to do with the government.
I'm bad about having lots of lights on in whatever room I'm hanging. I hate for it to be dark. However, I do buy green light bulbs. They are well, worth the extra expense.
I went on the website of my local electric company and did a survey. In exchange for the survey, they sent me a box full of stuff for conservation, including several light bulbs, a thing to test when the a/c filter needs to be changed, things to put in wall switches to prevent air getting through, a water conserving shower head, and many other things.
You should all check to see if your local electric board does anything similar.

Electric car maker charges Ottawa blocking its sale in Canada
Last Updated: Friday, October 26, 2007 | 8:15 AM ET
CBC News
The founder of a Canadian-made, 100 per cent electric car says the federal government is blocking him from selling his cars in Canada.
Warehoused Zenn cars in St. Jerome, Que.
(CBC) The ZENN (zero emissions, no noise) electric car is already being sold in the United States, Mexico, and Europe, where it has won awards.
The two-seater is built in St. Jerome, Que., by Toronto-based ZENN Motor Company. It is roughly the same size as the Mini-Cooper, and would sell for approximately $14,000.
Company founder Ian Clifford says Canadians haven't heard much about the car because Ottawa won't let him sell it here.
"We're getting road blocks thrown up in front of us every attempt down the road, and it's getting to the point now where we're almost giving up on Canada," said Clifford.
The car is considered a low-speed urban vehicle with a regulated maximum speed of 40 km/h. It's designed for areas where speed limits are 50 km/h or less, such as city core or neighbourhood-type driving, said Clifford.
British Columbia is the only Canadian province to legislate this type of vehicle, he said.
The ZENN car has met all the regulatory requirements in the United States, the same regulations adopted by Transport Canada in 2000.
Transport Canada response
When asked why the cars won't be licensed in Canada, Harry Baergen, a senior regulatory enforcement engineer with Transport Canada provided the following responses to CBC News:
CBC: "[Has the ZENN car] met the regulatory requirement?"
Baergen: "They haven't met our requirements yet, no."
Baergen then says ZENN has met the requirements:
Baergen: "They've showed us that it meets requirements as an LSV (low-speed vehicle)."
CBC: "They have shown that to you?"
Baergen: "Yes."
Baergen then says the licensing regulations are under review.
"Our definition is presently being clarified because there is a little bit of a broadness in it," he said.
Founder frustrated
Clifford says he's frustrated by the federal government's position.
"Every time you have a conversation with Transport Canada it's a different story. The reality is, we meet the regulation," he said.
He says low-speed vehicles such as scooters or bicycles are already on the roads in Canada.
"Last week the prime minister said we can't meet our Kyoto protocols and every electric vehicle that's on the road, you offset six tonnes of CO2 emissions, per vehicle," said Clifford.
With the dollar on the rise and no Canadian market, Clifford says he's not sure how long his company can hold on.

This sounds like a great idea, will check out the company here in canada.
I think I did a contest where they had info on conserving and won a bike.

I believe I did hear of this, Is there another car/vechicle that is available. I have dogs, and it gets cramped in small cars. one dog likes tothink he is driving and lands on the dashboard a lot.
