In the wake of the ongoing catastrophe of the GULF OIL SPILL, lots of people have been asking how they can reduce their oil consumption in their daily lives.
We took a look at what
GREENPEACE had to say and decided to post their list of
the top ten personal habits we can change:
1. Carpool, cycle or use public transport to go to work.
2. Choose when possible products packaged without
plastic and recycle or re-use containers.
3. Buy organic fruits and vegetables (
fertilizers and pesticides are based on oil more often than not).
4. Buy beauty products (shampoo, soap, make-up) based on natural ingredients,
not oil.
5. Choose when possible locally produced products (less transport involved).
6. Buy clothes made out of organic cotton or hemp - not from oil derivatives.
7. Use non-disposable items in picnics and summer festivals.
8. Quit
bottled water.
9.
Fly less.
10. Demand that your government
encourage renewable energy instead of
subsidizing oil.
