I have changed all of my light bulbs to CFLs and I have been using re-usable grocery bags at the grocery store. I am very pleased to see that so many stores are selling the re-usable bags, though I wish that the stores would give some $ incentive to people to use those bags.
walked everywhere
I have put a plastic rock in the back of my toilet to reduce the amount of water needed to flush.
We recycle and have a veggie garden.
We are now recycling about 50% more often.
sold the car!
We recycle and use less energy.
I bought a 1981 VW Rabbit set up for biodiesel, and made a purely edible garden in my tiny front yard.
I started composting and gardening. I walk my kids to school. And we continually recycle.
We put in eco friendly bulbs
Recycle, Recycle, Recycle..so much now that if we’re at someone’s house that doesn’t, try to tkae our empties home with us so we can recycle them there.
Thanks!
I started using an outdoor clothes dryer instead of a electric dryer. It is definitely better for the environment, and cuts our electric bill too!
