I've been researching "going green" for quite awhile now and must say this list covers the basics and does so in a very readable way. Good job.

I'm an amateur bodybuilder, 100% vegan and mostly high-raw for almost 3 years. I continue to make gains, so don't buy into the myth. I supplement with hemp protein, which has a complete amino acid profile.Your sweat will stink less too. And most vegan athletes benefit from faster recovery time, meaning you can work out harder or more frequently, hence make faster gains.

The author of this list Mike Sowden is an idiot. If anyone believes that mowing the lawn with a gas mower for an hour equals driving 100 miles in my Honda at 20 mpg, they have either never mowed a lawn or driven a car. I did not even read the rest of his recommendations. How can I believe any of it when this one is about mowing the grass is so far wrong it must have been thought up on the spur of the moment. Let's see how this stacks up in reality. My mower takes a quarter of a gallon for an hour of mowing. My Honda would have to get 400 mpg to make this equation true. Mike must work for Fox News. They don't need anything to be factual.

No kidding, I thought the same thing. I bought 2 gallons of gas back when I first started mowing my lawn this year, have already mowed my lawn at least 12 times this year, and I still have probably another 2 - 3 mows left. This list is absolutely ridiculous.There are some things I think are a good idea, like getting CF light bulbs and programmable thermostats, but seriously, a solar powered oven?

For those opposed to #17 - Eat Less Meat. Why?Meat has been proven to be a MASSIVELY HUGE ECONOMICAL and MORAL issue. Yes, i am a vegetarian, and no, you dont need meat. You eat it simply because of the taste. Period, end of story. It is not needed, if you are over the age of 10, you have enough protein stored in you, to last quite a while. You arent going to die (or be malnourished) from lack of protein.I dont know why some people get their panties in a bunch over.....meat!

But isn't that what "green" means?You're a self-hating green person!

Actually from what I understand the only food that has all of the amino acids you need is eggs. If you take hemp your still out on important stuff like creatine found in lean beef and omega 3's found in salmon.I'm sure your gains would be quicker/faster with these foods, otherwise you'll have to supplement in unnatural ways.I take no supplements other protein shakes.

Because dying from protein starvation and malnutrition is just about the least fun way to die I can think of. And because you need a hell of a lot more protein than you think if you're doing any sort of serious training - <a class="user" href="http://www.jacn.org/cgi/content/full/19/suppl_5/513S">http://www.jacn.org/cgi/content/full/19/suppl_5/51 ...</a> from the Journal of American College of Nutrition. You don't need animal protein as such, but it takes from 20 to 60 days to die of protein starvation if you get less than replacement level of protein per day, even if you get enough calories. Read a book sometime.
