Liikumise pakenditöörühma eestvedaja Juhan Ruudu kirjutisest (1997) leiate seisukohti ja näiteid, kuidas igaüks meist, olgu siis üksikisikuna, pereliikmena või ettevõtjana oma elukorraldust ja tarbimisharjumusi analüüsides ning neid pisut muutes tooks kasu keskkonnale.

Kõrv loodusesse - loodushelid ja helid looduses
Loodushelid ja helid looduses. Veebilehed info ja illustratsioonidega vastavatest liikidest, võimalik kuulata helindeid. Kõrv loodusesse kasutab kahte erinevat kokkusurutud helifaili formaati: mp3 ja real audio. Üldjuhul võimaldab mp3-formaat paremat kvaliteeti, kuid faili maht on suur. Real audio on väiksema failimahuga, kuid sellega kaasneb kehvem kvaliteet. Aeglase ühenduse korral on seetõttu otstarbekam valida real audio helindid. Kiirema ühenduse korral tasub kuulata parema kvalitee
