  I know I'm going to get totally roasted for this, but I honestly believe that people who are extremely concerned about the environment should not have children. It is inevitable that each and every one of us has an impact on the environment, and I really believe it's irresponsible to lecture others on their consumption of energy and goods if you're hauling 3 or 4 kids around. Each of those kids is going to have a home some day, cars, kids of their own, etc. As to what can be done, we use those curly fluorescent blubs to conserve, and we burn wood for most of the heat in our home. We're looking into converting all of our horse stuff (electric fencing, water heaters) to solar, and when we build a house, I would like some solar panels on the roof. Walking or biking instead of driving would help, too. I really admire the hell out of the people who live in Alaska and ride their bikes to work (or school) all year long. That is certainly a commitment to your beliefs!! It always amazes me how many people who live on a public transportation route refuse to take advantage of it. I would LOVE to take the bus to work - but the closest bus stop to my house IS at work.
