T think we must be "all be mental" the way we abuse the planet and lack of regard for other species ....and there's just too many people on this planet....so we will have to " bring in some sort of birth control to keep our human lpopulation under control.,,,but don't worry " the robots" will be here soon enough! That's for sure...

Re: Stuffing up the planet... Now that's " mental"
I pick up other people's rubbish and don't litter myself I plant tress and shrubs in the yard and add native plants to the reserve behind us. I pick all the fireweed comming up on the common ground of the subdivision near us when I walk the dog. We have solar electricity on the roof I have battery powered push bike ( lol) that's charged from our house solar cells I recycle our rubbish both plant and non plant material. I have a digital camera and not a film camera I open the house up of a night so on hot days The house is nice and cool for most of the next keep windows shut to keep " my cool" and some blinds shut to winter to retain warmth summer to keep out the heat.
I use ceiling fans to cool the house has good eves so summer sun is reduced Binds and curtains. Maximum glazing is on North side to get heat in winter....extended eves reduce heat in summer.... On the southern side is a double Garrage and windows are limited on South wall to keep house warm in winter. Nth facing large timber deck which is mostly roof covered. We don't use a tumble dryer we use a hills hoist for clothes dying I run a 4 cylinder car ( no v8 4me) I go kayaking I stead of using a power boat or jet ski. I sometimes wash the dog with me in the shower to save water..,,lol I have fluorescent and led lights to reduce power consumption What do you do?

Wow, sounds like you've pretty much got it covered. 🙂 Years ago, I helped plant some native plants in the yard - they attract bird life. Short showers is my other major contribution, but I've also taught about how plants work to kids.

Also would make a good badge (SUTPlanet is Mental) I'm sure Vivian from The Young Ones would agree to!
