A Million Green Ideas

I know that in order to protect and help conserve our environment and Planet Earth, it all starts with ourselves, but I ‘d like to ask what is the biggest method to create a significant impact that helps the environment.

At the same time, I ‘d also like to ask how you help to conserve the environment in your daily lives, for example, at work, at home and everywhere/ anywhere else.

Hi, I am in a College Environment Group and they are looking for ideas to help improve the environment at college. We are trying to make the college more eco-friendly.

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas that could maybe help improve the environment at college. Why did you suggest these ideas? Also, what impact would it have on the environment and college?

We already have things like recycle bins, recyclable paper plates etc. We mainly have recyclable things in our college and there is nothing much apart from that.

Thanks for your help!

besides having alot of garbage bags for rubbish, have posters all over the college making ppl aware of the environment, hold seminar and lectures. you can also invite companies and business to hold lectures, have as competitions and prize giving. get volunteers to do a cleanup every two weeks or once a month. create a website. plant flowers and trees

How could I help improve the environment at college?

I’m doing a project on paint and I’m having trouble deciding what type of paint to specifically do. I need to discuss how the paint is toxic to humans, how it is toxic to the environment, how to recycle this paint, and how recycling this paint has a positive environmental impact. It seems like oil-based paint is pretty toxic when compared to latex, but can I get more specific than that? I just need to know what type of paint to start doing research on. Thank you!

All of them, regular paints are bad and need a haz mat to clean up spills–remember there was one on rt. 128 years ago and it halted traffic for hours. Just try looking for a paint with the cheapest regular retail cost.

The best paints are called Low V.O.C. and you can google that. They are not as flammable and have no lead dryers in them . I have severe chemical allergies and can be in a room that’s painted with these paints a couple of hours later and be OK.

You could also try looking in google under paints-toxic or try the EPA site to find out more about paints. They might list them by the amount of volatile organic compounds in them which is what makes paint so toxic. In general, the government does not allow harmful lead paints anymore.

Also talk to Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore as they have the non-toxic kind and would be able to tell you more about the poor quality paints that they refuse to sell.

Good luck….
