I recycle paper, cardboard, plastic containers, milk jugs and cartons, pop bottles and cans (even pick up roadside littered bottles and cans) plastic bags, metal cans and jar lids, glass jars, wine bottles, newspaper, computer parts,
We use cloth grocery bags instead of plastic or paper
We wash dishes in basins 1 for wash, 1 for rinse savings gallons of hot water and energy.
We filter our own tap water instead of buying bottled water.
We keep our thermostat at 19 C in the winter (67 F) during the day and 16 C (60F) at night
We run no air conditioning even when it gets really warm like 35C (95F)
We drive at or below the speed limit to conserve fuel.
All our lights are compact fluorescent.
We compost all our vegetable and fruits scraps
Five out of six weeks, there is not enough trash to out it at the curb!
