*Echeverri* (Spammer post in your post below...)
Looks like the spammers have made it to this board now, too. I got stuck in the post below and couldn't get out!
To answer your question about easy things to be green...
- Recycle everything you can (after reducing your consumption in areas where you can)
- Use reusable bags for shopping
- Only buy food you will eat and not let spoil, local and in season when possible
- Switch to cloth napkins and clean with washcloths/towels instead of using paper towels
- Set your air conditioning to a higher temperature
- Replace light bulbs with CFLs when they burn out
- Unplug electronics when you're not using them. They can still pull quite a bit of power even if they're not turned on. (phone chargers, game consoles, etc.) I make this easy by using power strips and flipping them off.
- Obvious savers like turning the lights off when you leave a room, turning the water off while you're soaping your hands or brushing your teeth
- Take a reusable coffee mug and/or cup to work to use instead of disposable
- Vinegar in place of fabric softener and/or rinse aid in the dishwasher
I'm sure there are tons more I'm forgetting. Hopefully someone else will come in and help me out... :-)
