When I see plastic bags flying around in the wind I run out and get them so they don't cause pollution. Even when there not in my backyard and they are in the street or in a park.
Think: "Farmers Market for Social Change"
We will construct a basic forum outdoors at Westlake Center for other organizations and individuals from the Seattle area ...
Did you know that in Seattle there is a place where you can recycle your bottle caps?! Whole Foods will take them back. And even if you do not live in Seattle just look around and see if there i...

This project is inspired by a comment that Mary W. posted on my "Cell Phone Chargers" project (please check it out). She asked if anybody had any ideas on how to remember and to remind others to...
Go outside with a rake and maybe a shovel and try to clear up all the clogged up storm drains. If you don't there might be big puddles in the streets and cars will go through them and splash ped...
This one is pretty simple:
Get an egg timer and put it next to your shower so you know when to get out so you aren't wasting too much water daydreaming in the shower! Even better, you can ge...

keep reusable bags in your car and when you go grocery shopping use the reusable bags instead of asking for plastic bags.
Go local for food, services, and work as much as possible. Buying working and hiring local saves fuel, water and cuts down on pollution, while boosting the local economy! Our country is about to...
It's good to eat organic stuff because non organic farmers use pesticides which go into the ground which goes into streams and rivers. Eat a meal with all the things organic.
A lot of electricity is wasted by cell phone chargers because people don't realize that the cables are still demanding energy even though cell phones aren't being charged. The task is very simpl...
I am collecting and recycling the red rubber bands that the Royal Mail discards on the streets of London while they are delivering the mail.
I hope you will join me so the streets of London wil...
It is really simple. Just turn off the water when you are brushing your teeth and washing your face.
Dana sent this document to some of us earthbongo creators, and I wanted it to have a wider audience. This is an amazing, beautiful guide to greening your own environment and learning about Wanga...
Stephanie started a great project about reducing food waste. For me, the biggest impediment to using all my food is the fact that I need to clean the fridge more frequently so I can find what ne...
Our country throws away millions of tons of food waste every year. We try to use up leftovers when we can and take home doggie bags from restaurants, but how about upping the ante by getting se...
Inspired by the no more plastic & paper project, I was reminded of my friend Stephanie in Chicago who started bringing her own container to the restaurant rather than taking home styrofoam o...
Some of you on earthbongo have probably seen this online video before, but for those who haven't, it's entertaining and informative (and motivating!) to see Annie Leonard's cartoon-format info-v...
I thought this was a pretty good article from the LA Times. It's from someone writing a column under the heading "Realist Idealist" and has their experiences as to what worked for them, and what...
I mean to focus on the clear produce bags and all matters of plastic bags.... wash 'em, save 'em up and recycle.... avoid using them for food storage and transport so they don't get all g...
Bring your own bags to the store when you go shopping. Simple. The key is to remember to have them handy. I keep mine in the car at all times.
Eating less meat has been a vague goal of mine for some time now. I don't want to become a vegetarian, because, well, I like meat! Maybe I'd be healthier by being a vegetarian. But I'm just not ...
I had no idea that my stereo was still using power even though I'm not using it. I read that a playstation 3 takes 5x the power than a mid-size fridge - when it's "OFF"! No way. The solution is to...
I'd like to clean up the area around me. I am going to pick up the part of the Burke Gilman that is in front of my studio. If we all took on the grounds around our home or office, we could make a ...
