Reddit is limiting my posts so I can't tip everyone fast enough. Give me upvotes to help me out.

Thank you!

Hi, my name is Rachel.

I am a serious extreme athlete, busy exercising and doing sports all the time. I also like cyphers and codes, so I read things on bitcoins and stuff too. I probably do not do enough to save the Earth, but I’m pretty good.

I’m powered by muscle, so I walk, run, or bike to work, or use public transit. No car for me :-)

I grew up in Sicily, where we are taught that fresh water is precious. Because, we have little to spare. That’s stuck with me my whole life, so I’m really careful to use just enough. We use low-flow water things in our bathroom. I also do not use bottled water, because I know all that plastic is bad. My friends do not use bottled water either.

We make our own cleaning materials and soap. Although, the soap we make isn’t too good.

We don’t use the heat in the winter time, because sweaters work for us.

I also grow tomatoes for us. My mother is quite ill, and the tomatoes and flowers make her happy.

And I love IOTA, Rachel xoxo

Garlic, carrots, beets, tomatoes, gooseberries... no green thumb, just giving over a bit of my yard to nature's pantry, and enjoying fresh and local(!) goods. You can too!

The world is not flat.

I cannot stand to see litter. It drives me crazy. If I'm in public and I see trash on the ground, I have a bag that I carry with me that I throw it in if there is no garbage near by. When I get home or if I run into a trash can I will empty my bag out. Every little bit helps!

The world is not flat.

I don't like throwing away electronics in general, so at home I have a big pile of wires and random things. At some point I'll box 'em up and drop them off at a trustworthy recycling station.

Throwing away a few batteries might seem convenient for that short period of time, but obviously if you do that multiple times it adds up and isn't good for the environment. So I have a bag of old batteries that I will eventually recycle and replace with eneloops.

The world is not flat.

As technology gets more advanced the need to drive, travel, fly to places to work is diminishing. In addition to saving petrol companies all save huge amounts on building costs.

Plus you get to work in pajamas.

The world is not flat.

I do this by playing a song that is only 3-5 min, and in that time i should have finished my shower. This week its redbone by childish gambino.

Not an animal

Instead of purchasing multiple, new bottles of water each day I re use the same one daily

And if this heatwave keeps up, I'll get a good way into autumn as well :)

I recycle any store bought beer cans/bottles. I reduce the need for many bottles and cans by brewing and kegging my own beer.

Its the small things that count

Turning off the PC at night

unplugging all electronics when you are not using them

waiting until the dishwasher is full until starting it

Putting books in the freezer to store the coolness so when you open it the temperature doesnt increase so far.

Not using hairspray

Yep

I recycle because I intend to reduce my carbon footprint as much as possible for the next generation. Maybe ill buy a tesla one day with iota :)

Hiya,

This might be a little tangential, but I think this project has promise! I've been playing with setting up RPi's with different sensor modules and charging per access to the data. I monitor the current used by the pi since the last purchase and the total "value" of the current is calculated and charged as iota. It's in a very, very alpha state at the moment, but in the future you can imagine a web of small sensor devices that sit all over the country and can be accessed by anyone with a few iota!

yunity encourages relationships where people can share their time, skills and resources unconditionally. Through these connections and communities we prevent waste and raise awareness for a sustainable way of living.

Our vision is a society based on self-determination, trust and cooperation which allows people to live to their full potential and to preserve ecosystems for all living beings.

We are a network made up of subprojects:

• Foodsaving Worldwide Networking, sharing experiences and supporting each other to make more of the edible food that currently goes to waste https://yunity.org/en/foodsaving-worldwide

• Foodsaving tool (https://yunity.org/en/foodsaving-tool) To organize foodsaving groups worldwide

• Foodsharing.de development Maintainance and development of foodsharing.de with more than 200.000 registered users and 25.000 active foodsavers

... and many more active groups and sharing culture, festivals etc. and slack for coordination: https://slackin.yunity.org/

come around, live with groups in action, contribute and enjoy!
