Such good environmental advice. Also, water conservation! Don't leave the tap running while you brush your teeth, wait until the dishwasher is fully loaded to minimize how many times you use it, ect.

Yes! I could go on for hours.

Using cloth napkins/SHAMWOW! instead of wasting paper towels
Quick showers
Using glass/ceramic plates instead of paper plates
Compost piles to reduce trash, which can also be used as soil
Reusable lunch bags
Reusable bamboo utensils
Safe plastic containers instead of shitty ass plastic wrap
Carpooling
Recycle, recycle, recycle
Use bleach free toilet paper
Purchase items in bulk
Go to garage sales/donate
Rechargeable batteries
Buy locally! Support local farmers
Conserve energy by turning off lights when not in use, unplugging all outlets when not in use, etc.

Capture water from the beginning of the shower when you are waiting for the water to warm up and use it to water the plants.

Unplug appliances from the wall when not in use, as they still use some power even if off.

The second one, yes! It also saved me a lot of money on my electricity bill while I was living in my apartment.

I am all about the tote bags, but it turns out we need plastic grocery bags to use as garbage bags in the the bathroom and all the bedrooms. It is a form of recycling I guess...

Yeah, when I get plastic bags (sometimes I forget my tote bags) I use them as garbage bags. Some stores will even take your plastic bags and recycle it themselves.

We actually do both in this household, the latter mostly to deal with oddly shaped bags we can't use any other way. Like our piles and piles of skinny wine bottle bags.

Haha, make art out of them!
