What do you do in your everyday life, that you would consider green?
Nothing much, really… I try to turn off every light I’m not using and I usually drive a Toyota Prius. I also try to keep updated on the subject by reading several feeds.

How is your surroundings supporting your green ways?
The portuguese government is investing in renewable energy, with wind and solar farms. And the price of fossil fuels is way too much expensive…

How is your surrounding standing in your way of green choices?
There isn’t a bike lane in Lisbon, not even on the riverside, and that really annoys me. Also, the lack of subway on the southern part of the city is also a minus. There is a train line, but it’s not as convenient as a subway.

Is there any actions you want to take to create a more green environment around you?
Right now, I don’t know how.

What is the biggest threat to the Earth’s wellbeing these days?
Waste, in all it’s forms, it being material and human resources.

Whom are you going to tag in the green meme?
Huum… Lilian Lehman (I think she cares about this stuff) and David Rodrigues (he’s left wing enough to care :p).
