I use reusable grocery bags to be eco-friendly.

I recycle practically everything, reuse bags and boxes, use a CamelBack for drinking and ceramic for coffee.  Also, try to keep my eco-friendly shopping bags in my trunk for those short trips to the store.  Additionally, donate any unwanted items to charities in which I feel strongly about (battered women shelters) that will help them get a leg up in the world.

Thanks for allowing us to share!

Recycle, recycle, recycle....

Recycle, recycle, recycle!!

I use reusable bags.  Plus my husband & I compost, & since the first of the year we have been using more eco-friendly cleaning.  Most of the cleaning products are already in our pantry!

I always recycle anything that our recycling company can take.  I use reuseable shopping bags for all my purchases.  And I just started my own composting pile in my backyard, so much fun! Oh, and most importantly, I always make sure to return any unused medications to my local pharmacist to get rid of.  It is so dangerous to just throw them away or flush them down the toilet. 

* Recyle everything possible !

* Reuseable grocery bags!

* Used coffee grounds go into flower pots!

* Totally switched from bottled water to tap only!

* Buy earth friendly paper products!

* Limited my purchase of products in plastic containers to a bare minimum!

I try to use Eco-Friendly products whenever possible.  I Recycle anything I can (paper products, glass, cans, etc.).  I also started a Garden.  In addition to Flowers, we also have Fruit (pears, nectarines, peaches, blueberries, watermelons, canteloupes, strawberries, oranges and lemons).  We have Vegetables (tomatoes, lettuce, brussel sprouts, green onions, etc.).  We also have an Herb Garden with Basil, Oregano, Thyme, Sage, Cilantro, Parsley, etc.  It takes some work, but is worth it to have fresh vegetables, herbs and fruit.  I only use Natural, Organic Pesticides -- no chemicals.  It's much better for the environment.    :) :) :) :)

I turn off things i'm not using, bring my own grocery bags to the store, ride my bike instead of drive when possible, Keep the thermostat at 66 in the winter and 75 in the summer.

I combine as many trips as possible in order to use less gas for my shopping trips.  Gas, drug store, gardening store, and grocery are usually all part of the same trip right after work on my way home!  I also reuse the plastic shopping bags I have accumulated as small garbage bags and use cloth when I shop to avoid getting more plastic.  We also have rain barrels and a compost bin!
