Answer 2

some sites you can go to for help on this that i love and visit everyday are

www.treehugger.com

www.green.alltop.com (combines the top green sites on one page and is updated everyday)

Answer 3

Try switching to eco friendly soap, I know it sounds funny but things like dish soap and laundry soap contain phosphates and toxins that are harmful to animals and the environment. Alot of these companies do not do animal testing either so you are supporting two causes at once!

Simplicity makes a great dish soap, it actually takes food off better than alot of other brands I have used and it isn't any more expensive then the other brands. Pure and Natural bar soap is packaged in recycled paperboard that has been seeded with flower seeds so you can plant it in your backyard flower garden instead of throwing away. I have found alot of these soaps at Walmart so the price is good.

You can also switch you trash bags to those made of recycled soda pop bottles, you can even get pillows made from recycled soda pop bottles! If you use paper plates switch to the Earth Shell ones they are actually made from limestone and potatos! They are great and hold up to just about anything even beans and BBQ!

You can make a big difference just by switching your everday purchases to things that contain post consumer content and advertise they are recyclable!

Remember it isn't just what you buy it what you do with it when you are finished!
