If you have a car, sell it.

i was at walmart today and they gave away a reusable shopping bag. it cuts plastic and paper use and its tougher than both.

if you do use regular shopping bags, use them for other stuff like as trash bags.

instead of buying bottled water, buy a reusable one.

there are tons of websites that give ideas. i picked a random one.

and good looking out for mother earth!

Answer 4

One of the most overlooked ways to go green is to make sure that your electronics are recycled or disposed of properly.  Many cities do this.  In addition to all the groundwater that is ruined through heavy metal and other compounds in electronics, recycling helps reduce the need for mining.  Mining itself has a huge impact on the land and consumed tremendous amounts of energy.

You should recycle:

Ni-Cd batterys, computers, TVs, monitors, Li-ion batteries, cell phones, flourescent light bulbs, etc.

Answer 5

Ride a bike, carpool, and walk, whenever possible.

Do laundry with cold water.

This may seem funny, but it actually saves me a bunch of money while conserving, while it's pee, let it be.....

If your hot water doesn't kick in as fast, put a bucket at the bottom of you sink, and reuse that water to water you plants.

Recycle.

Buy green products.

Answer 10

I recycle everything, I turn off water while brushing my teeth, I wash my own dishes, I have a compost in the back yard for old food, leaves, grass clippings. I have bags I reuse from my grocers so I don't use plastic. Start small, anything and everything you do will make a difference.

Answer 11

First, try sites like treehugger.org and freecycle.org. These are both incredible sites with loads of info. on how to live more sustainably. Check to see if you have a local recycling service that will pick up recycling at you house, or if there are drop-off sites in your neighborhood. There is so much you can do, but this will give you a great start.
