I just came up with a new process at work that will stop the use of 100,000 sheets of A4 every year. Squaccerman "Friend of the Trees".
Also I cycle to work.

Am I the greenest chess player here, has anyone else made a contribution to saving the planet?

A wetland treats the grey water we produce.
Our water supply comes from rainwater tanks
All electricity in our house comes from wind/pv/hydro sources
We've planted 1500 trees
All our food waste is recycled by our chooks.
All our steel, plastic and glass waste is recycled
All our paper is mulched and used on garden beds or recycled

I'm very green. I wish I could come up with smart ideas like that.

Neither did I. Then again, I wasn't asked on account of my not being American. Or in USA for that matter.

Are you sure that isn't "re-cycle"?

Hey me too! It's like we're world saving brothers connected by an invisible mind bridge.

Invisible mind bridges are my all time second favourite kind of metaphorical bridges, mentioned on RHP. On a Thursday. In April. And I didn't vote for Bush either. It's like we were meant for each other. All three of us.

I do my part as well, but try and beat this : When I eat marijuana muffins, my crap is green. You can't get any greener than that!

I'm a LEED accredited design professional. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and is an accreditation program for folks involved in the building design and construction industry to promote sustainability in design and construction. It's run by the folks at the USGBC (US Green Building Council - www.usgbc.org).

I just got through designing an office building renovation for the US government here in DC where (among other things) we're capturing the rainwater that lands on the roof of the building to use for flushing toilets & urinals and also for irrigation on the site. I have another project under construction right now near Baltimore, Maryland for a German company, where we're using some innovative techniques to significantly reduce the energy costs for cooling the building.

I may not be the greenest RHPer, but I'm certifiably green.

(Oh, and I own an SUV, so I'm not completely green - but the car I use for most of my driving is a little 4-cylinder gas sipper.)

A call to Americans in particular! Ditch those fat-azzed SUVs and ride a motorcycle instead. You'll save immense amounts of fuel and $$$ and meet lots of interesting people. Plus, you won't be able to yak aimlessly on your cellphone and you'll save injuries and lives too!
