i had been thinking about posting this *almost* exact thing recently!
Please list five things you do regularly with the environment in mind:
1) i eat vegan and organically--try to buy local organic if possible. and compost my food scraps.
2) i recycle-- including bringing stuff home rather than throw it away in public.
3) i use cloth diapers.
4) i use only eco-friendly cleaning supplies.
5) i don't buy any major brand items--but buy from smaller unheard-of companies. (so no animal testing, no GMO's).
6) i buy only used clothing for myself and family (except socks and underwear), i always look for used cd's first before buying new, and almost all of our books are used.
7) i use freecycle.org and craigslist-free when i want to get rid of stuff.
EDIT: we use flourescent bulbs too.
Please identify five Earth Day Resolutions to improve by next year. No goal is too small or large!
1) i will buy recycled paper for my printer. (thanks, kitestream!)
2) I will re-use more materials - art supplies or whatever.
3) I will be more conscientious about my use of electricity and try to reduce it. (i have been turning my computer off A LOT more these days instead of leaving it on all day...)
4) i will make more recycled art.
5)i will try to walk a bit more with the kids instead of driving.
6)i will be planting more of my own vegetables in the future (violet permitting).
