Let us know how you are making a difference in your hometown. I live in an environmentally friendly sustainable home. The walls, floors and roofs are from renewable resource and processed with minimal chemicals and absolutely no VOC's. I heat my home with only renewable and sustainable resources mostly from my land. I reduce the amount of contaminated drinking water by not going #1 or #2 in drinking water unlike most Americans. I use a compost toilet. I buy my produce locally from an organic farmer 6 miles down the road, although I do not eat seasonally - that is way to radical for me. 10) Finally, are you a Star Wars, Lord of the Rings or Matrix person? Star Wars all six episodes.
