Discussion of green living usually are about wind energy and solar energy.?

I've read about more fuel efficient jets, but I don't know how far off they are. Even if they were available today most airlines are in financial trouble so I don't know if they could afford to buy them.

Because I've decided to live a green lifestyle I have decided to fly less. We will be taking fewer vacations and we will visit areas closer to where we live.

I disagree that green living focuses on wind and solar energy. I consider my green living philosophy to be focused on reducing the amount of energy I use, no matter what the source. I have also switched to more earth friendly cleaning and beauty products to limit my exposure to chemicals and reduce the amount of toxins I release into the environment. I also try to buy my food as close to home, I have a wonderful organic farmers market and I plant some of my own food. I am an avid recycler and have driven a Prius for 6 years. I think those are equally important aspects of green living.

I think one of the reasons people think going green is costly is the confusion between living a sustainable life and renewable energy. To me, renewable energy is just one aspect of being green.

Steve Said:

Why should America use reusable or green energy instead of fossil fuel?

You're right Katey. If solar and wind energy meant a lower standard of living, unreliable utilities and a whole bunch of hassle, it just plain would not be worth looking at for most people. But it might surprise you that many scientists, engineers and inventors have developed ways to allow this amazing technology to work harmoniously with our existing power supplies. If done right, renewable energy IS as simple as pouring gas into a car. Then you could save a few precious gallons of that gasoline, and your great grandkids will have more to put in their cars... or hovercrafts, or whatever they are driving 100 years from now.
