There is an old saying that we only are renting the world for a little while from its true owners – our children. This can help remind us that the choices we make today about our lifestyles and our consumer habits can directly impact many future generations. We can help our children by not only bringing up topics to talk about in environmental issues, but also lead by example.

Easy Green Tips for Protecting Groundwater

Although the average human being can last up to three months without food, it can only last three days without water. Climate change and unwise uses of water supplies have lead to massive droughts in Australia, Europe and North America. For example, Spain decided to cater to the tourist industry by building many golf courses. Unfortunately, grass golf courses require lots of water in order to maintain. Spain now is in the midst of its worst drought in recorded history.

Certainly by now you know about conserving water as much as possible. But you also need to protect the water we have left. Much of the drinking water supply comes from groundwater, which (as its name implies) means that it is located just underneath the ground. Because it is just under the ground means that it is very easy to contaminate.

The best thing you can do to protect groundwater is not to dump harmful chemicals into it. But you don’t do that, you say. Oh, do you really Do you add fertilizers and insecticides to your lawn. Those wash off easily and sink into the groundwater. And what about the cleaners and washing detergents you use. Many of these harsh chemicals are destroying groundwater.

Use only a fraction of the recommended amount of laundry detergent. You will still get the clothes clean but without dumping so many chemicals in the groundwater. Better yet, use environmentally safe cleaning products made of botanical oils, bleach or vinegar. Look for a label showing the word with the words Design for the Environment U. S. EPA on it.

Instead of using chemical foam drain cleaners, use a couple of cups of baking soda and a kettle full of boiling water. It may take longer to work than a foam or liquid commercially made pipe cleaner, but it won’t harm your pipes, the groundwater or your kids.

Polluting Yourself

There is no sense talking to your kids about environmental issues if you do not treat your own body with respect. You may not think that your body has anything to do with the environment, but it does. The way you treat yourself is often subconsciously reflected in the way we treat the environment.

Kids can easily recognize hypocrites. They will nod in agreement with you only to please you but then ignore all of your advice and teachings if they think you are a hypocrite. There is no sense preaching green tips if you drink, abuse drugs or smoke. Abusing alcohol, drugs and tobacco not only harms your body but also harms the environment.

How does smoking affect the environment Guess what the most prominently kind of trash is found on beaches all over the world Lighters, cigarettes, matches and tobacco pouches. Tobacco is poisonous to many creatures such as small dogs that can die from eating a few cigarettes.

Let’s be real here. Newbie Internet marketers have it rough. They come into an industry that is glamorous for promising riches in 30 days or less and they are told they can push a button and let the system do all the work for them. They arepromised lifestyles of sitting on a beach with their laptop running their multi-million dollar empire with nothing but an Internet connection and maybe a phone.Plus, there’s also a lot of bad information out there telling Internet marketers they need to be doing this strategy or that strategy… and ultimately none of them work. The real problem is newbie Internet marketers don’t get told the truth and they don’t get a full understanding of how the ‘big picture’ of Internet marketing really works.Here’s the reality. Succeeding in Internet marketing comes down to 2 basic things… building a list and selling products or services to that list.So what happens after a newbie realizes this is they spend all their time doing one or the other instead of doing both. But here’s the good news. When you’re just starting out, you should only focus on building a list, and that’s it.Here’s why…You don’t need to focus on creating products in the beginning – Until you understand how to create a product, just use ones that are already created. Yes, I’m talking about affiliate products. Pick 3-5 affiliate products that are related to your niche and use those in your emails that you send out to your list.One of the things newbie Internet marketers do is they spend time creating a product, but once it’s done, they don’t have anyone to sell it to. That’s not what you want to do. You always want to have an audience to sell to, thus you should always start with building a list.Relationship marketing always pays more in the long run – As you build your list and you send out emails, make sure the emails are filled with content that provide true value and true insight. Why? Because when you give people good stuff, they will like and trust you. When this happens, they will buy from you time and time again.Think about it. How many products have you bought from people you didn’t know versus people you’ve followed and who you trust? I bet I already know what the answer is.Ask people what they want, and give it to them – Once you’ve built a relationship with your list, ask them what they want to learn about. When they like you and trust you, they’ll tell you what they want to learn. When you find that out, create a product based on what they want to know.Here’s an example. After you ask your list what they want to learn, take every response and organize the questions into a logical order. Use the questions as an outline to your product. Make the product about answering their questions and you’ll give them exactly what they want.As you can see, it’s far more important to build your list first before you create a product so you know exactly what they want to learn.
