Throwing garbage and oil products into the sewer drainage systems- it goes directly into our bays and oceans.  Factories that  in the past have dumped chemical byproducts into our streams. Chemicals, fertilizers and bug/crabgrass killers overused on our lawns and farms, all go into our water. This affects our drinking water and the life in our bays and oceans.  I can remember the bay being as clean as glass, you were able to see the plants  growing on the bay floor and the sea creatures that lived within them, it was beautiful.  Start small, pick up garbage you see in the streets, don't put grease and oil down drains, don't over fertilize or use chemicals on your lawn.

I honestly don't know much about these issues.  I do know that they say cooking over a bbq is dangerous, I believe cancer causing .

I believe that it was once considered that you were "well off" or "doing well" if you were able to provide meat on a daily basis for your family.  My dad was a meat and potatoes man, and we grew up that way. I no longer eat in this manner.  I believe we need to rethink our ideas and come to realize that we need to eat less meat, smaller portions of meat, and have entire days without meat.  It is a healthier diet, and less animals will need to be raised to fill the supply that is currently needed.

I live close to my work, so I often try to walk back and forth at least once a day( weather permitting).  I do go home to let my dog out at lunch so if I didn't walk to work that morning I sure try to walk back after lunch!  I enjoy the walk, you get to know other people who are out walking, you get to smile and say hello and feel like part of the community you live in. I recently have refurbished my bicycle so soon I may be riding to work!

Restart- Everyday is a new day. What you may have not accomplished the day before recycling you can always try to do today. Before being wasteful, think out your actions.

Maybe instead of buying large quantities of unhealthy foods buy less quantity and buy quality.

Weight loss and healthier eating. You are more conscious of what your eating.

I've noticed garbage on the track when I walk the track. When I walk down to the beach I've noticed new structure going up due to storm damage from 2012. I enjoyed walking the beach in the winter, its very serene, the water is beautiful.

By possibly making crafts out of old books and magazines..(library just did a program on this)LOL
