Do you have any of the old fashioned eco friendly skills?

A lot of the skills that used to be used are very eco friendly. Do you have any of these eco friendly skills? Do you still use them?

I am thinking about the old skills which used things they had to hand, because they grew locally or used recycled materials such as:
bottling, jam making and preserving
willow items, baskets, lampshades
coppicing, drystone walling
curing meats and skins
making home prepartions for toiletries, medicines
making carts, buggies, trailers,
making own gardening implements/tools
bee keeping, making beeswax products
rag rug making, darning - who can darn now?

Any other old fashioned eco friendly skills you have?

Is there and eco friendly substitute for bug spray and hand sanitizer with less chemicals?

Posted: February 2010 in Other - Environment

I use bug spray frequently but I feel like I am just putting chemicals all over myself. Its effective and it smells nice in small doses but it hurts your lungs when you breathe it in (not that I inhale it but it is inevitable) and leaves a visible cloud of chemicals. Is there a safer substitute? Also, I use hand sanitizer very often and I am wondering if anyone knows of an eco friendly substitute for that too.

Why do some conservatives resist the idea of global warming and going green?

I would think that NOW one would realize how big of an effect human pollution has on the environment, even if we are not the cause of global warming, landfills and wastes, the effects of not recycling, using too much energy and oil still takes a lot out on the environment and our civilization.

So are conservatives STILL turning a blind eye to environmental issues? If you dont believe it is that big of a deal or that we have that much of an effect, what’s the problem with at least going green? I dont see why people fight it.
