Answer 1

it's very hard to be completely eco friendly living in any built up area, however there are things you can do

with cars, make sure the person driving (or when you do drive) isn't driving too fast, an economic car can still burn a lot of fuel if you drive it to it's limits and an uneconomic car driven at a normal speed will be more economic, although if possible walk or take public transport

don't use any unnecessary electricity, make sure you turn your lights off and don't leave your TV on when you're not watching it

same goes for heating in winter, don't turn it up too high, keep it a bit lower and wear a jumper

shower instead of having a bath and don't spend too long in the shower, just do what you need to do

use stick deodorant rather than aerosols

don't put your clothes in to wash until you have a full load to save water

wash dishes by hand instead of a dish washer

you can buy quite a lot of fair trade clothing on the highstreet now (if you live in the UK anyway) if not second hand is better than nothing, also donate your old clothes to charity if they're in good enough condition and if not you can recycle them

recycle everything you can, plastic, paper, tins and cans etc and get a compost heap in your garden

not sure about eco friendly stores but there's bound to be loads, do a search online for your local area, you can normaly do them on the yellow pages websites and things like that

there are loads of other things, it's basicaly just being sensible about what you do and what you use

buy your food at local shops or at the very least check where it is from, lots of food in supermarkets comes from abroad so buying locally cuts down on food miles
