Green living means doing your part to be a good custodian of the environment.
It means doing things that are convenient to save yourself money, by conserving, reusing and recycling.
Make sure your home is well insulated, your plumbing is not leaky, your lightbulbs and appliances are replaced with more energy efficients ones when they do need replaced, using better gardening and farming practice to reduce harful chemical usage, and trying to cut back on products that have to be shipped great distances where possible.
no one is asking for anyone to make huge life changes, you don’t have to. Just do the things that will save you money on your utility bills, and your fuel usage.
If at a later date you find it reasonable to add a few solar panels, or a wind generator to your homestead, by all means, do so, but no one is demanding it.
No one is asking you to make life a struggle to "live green", only change a few bad habits, by being aware of how your actions effects the environment.

The best we can do as individuals is be more responsible ,in our own neck of the woods
Organise well publicized clean up parties ,talk on the radio
Have citizan meetings
Get the shools involved to plant trees and listen to environmental awareness talks,
If you do any cleaning up leave signs behind saying who cleaned,why and ask people not to start dumping rubbish again ,leave a hole or bins ,in case people come with trash ,
POSITIVE ACTIONS)
Classify trash take out all the organic waste and make compost with it ,the worst you can do is throw it with the trash
70% of contamination is due to organic waste that is mixed in with the garbage .
And it is just as bad in the sewer where it helps to breed rats and in the landfill it poisons the ground
And it is the easiest to take care of
o first of all we have to clasify trash at least keep the organic to one side ,like in a plasic bin with a lid
If you got a few meters of ground ,you only need 1 or 2 square meters in a shallow hole ,in the shade ,that you can wet now and again ,where you dump everything that is organic ,from toilet paper,bones vegetable cuttings ,eggshells,,,excrement ,and cover regularly with leaves to keep humid and to hide any smell
the worms will come and decompose the wastes truning it into beautifull black soil for the garden of flower pots .
If you are in a apartment ,if you have a balcony get a big plastic bin drill some holes in the side and lid ,
Add a few buckets of sand now and again to put over the trash ,you should realt stir or move the stuff at times to airate it and ensure that the decomposition is overall ,keep moist
This rubbish does not get big very fast and the thing works for a long time with out getting full
