Do you think Obama will have a fistful of Executive Orders ready to go, when he is sworn in next week?

I hope he has several ready, requiring the biggest corporations to submit plans to either cut their carbon footprint or fund alternative energy development.

If you could tell Obama what to use his Executive Orders for, what would you ask for first?

A scientist in California has recently suggested that global warming can be delayed if we all paint our houses white. It is his suggestion that as white reflects the sunlight, our houses will therefore help delay global warming to some extent. He has also asked atleast 100 major cities of the world to try this out. What do you say to this.

I am extremely hopeful that Obama will aggressively fund alternative energy development.

How long will it take for these changes to be seen?

I would love to see subsidies allowing middle and low income citizens the purchase of hybrid or electric cars.

Would you support a Federal Program for this?

A lot of my parents fruits get eaten by birds... any eco friendly ideas to keep them away?

How much money can you save hanging clothes to dry? It's a bit time consuming, so I'm trying to figure out if it's really worth the time it takes.

I'm a little bit afraid that environmental concerns may be overshadowed by the recession, and that stimulating production of any kind will be valued over cutting emissions. What do you think?

When I tried to buy new sheets and pillow cases at the chain stores, I was alarmed to see that most were made from synthetic fibres. Where can I get alternatives?

We're all here by choice because we share that common concern for the sustainability of our planet. But surely everyone of us has met people who simply don't care and have a strong say about those of us who do. How do you deal with such people? You know those who say nasty things about you because you decided to buy organic or perform recycling?

My mom is getting married in september and I'm her maid of honor. I get to help choose my dress and I'd like to get something somewhat eco friendly. Can anyone suggest anything?

I'm also plus size so that makes it a bit more difficult to find.
