Answer 2

There are many things I do to live green and some are very inexpensive too!

~Of course, I recycle everything you can! (Ex: cans, bottles, plastics, paper, ect.)

~Buy energy saving light bulbs

~Buy things like clothes, paper, ect that are made from recycled materials

~Use reusable batteries or recycle dead batteries properly

~Use reusable shopping bags

~ When I have plastic shopping bags, I use them instead of just tossing them. I use them to pick up dog poo, line small trash cans, ect.

~Try not to use paper napkins or paper towel as much as possible. Instead use cloth napkins that can be washed.

~Try to use fewer paper plates and more washable ones.

~Take shorter showers

~Turn off lights whenever possible

~Try to buy more organic foods and local foods (for example, at a farmer's market)

~Use regular silverware, not plastic

~Use eco friendly products in replace of regular dish washing liquids, house cleaners, ect. (Greenworks)

~Use cold water to wash clothes (Tide Cold water works great)

~On a nice day, I turn off the air/heat and open some windows. You save of the cost, get a nice fresh breeze, and help the environment.

~I plant trees around your house to shade and save on using more air conditioning

~I bought one stainless steel, reusable, water bottle instead of using regular plastic ones and then getting rid of them. This one you can clean and use over and over again!

~Changed the setting on my sprinklers to use less water

~Bought eco friendly

~Walk or ride a bike wherever possible

~Carpool if possible

These are just some of the things I can think of off the top of my head that I do to help the environment.  :)
