What things do you do to go green?  |
|
There are plenty of ways to go green, and to save money.
I recycle whenever I can, and I am sure to turn off lights when I am not using them. I bring my own bags to the supermarket, which saves me 5 cents per bag! I don't drink much soda, but when I do I try to recycle the can or bottle. Instead of buying bottled drinks 5 times a week, I buy tea bags and koolaide and make my own drinks. It saves a lot of money and I don't have all those bottles lying around the house!
I have been working on quitting smoking, that is one big money saver! I also set my computers to have the hard drives turn off after they have been idle for a while. I buy all fresh fruit and produce and I never use plastic bags for them!

2. jessi0887 (2507) | 9 months ago | There is alot i do and alot im planning to do. Some you already listed like i buy drink mixes to make my own. I sometimes allow my child to go without a diaper to save diapers. I use rechargeable batteries. There is more but im cant think of everything. RIght now this is a big topic with my fiance and i. We are planning to build a house running mostly on solar power. We have all kinds of ideas to go green and save. Some seem kind of crazy but we are going to give it a try before saying thats just too weird.

I recycle anything in the house that I can even clothes.
I sometimes buy second hand clothes if they are in good condition.
I collect rain water, and turn off my appliances at the plug.
I also grow various vegatables and also get my kids involved in that.
I also have energy saving lights and I now limit my flying to one holiday a year as used to have 3/4.

5. thinkingoutloud (2446) | 9 months ago | I recycle as much as possible too. Our town switched us from the standard blue box recycling to the large bin that is picked up by the recycling truck automatically. They switched to bi-weekly collection, though, instead of weekly and everything that you recycle HAS to be inside your bin. The driver will not get out of the truck and pick up extra boxes or anything... so, since I try to recycle everything possible, I find I sometimes have to struggle to get everything in the bin. OH! and they will leave your bin at the curb, too, if the lids do not close properly so no overfilling.
One other thing I do, besides what everyone has mentioned, is that I don't use plastic wrap or bags when packing my kids' lunches. Everything is in reusable storage containers. I find this has made a big difference in terms of cutting down on the waste.

| 6. Pkshields (46) | 9 months ago | I do the usual things like trying to switch off lights and always turning off things from standby. We also have a paper recycling bin which we use regularly, and we also sometimes try to recycle glass. Just generally trying to be more aware of the whole green thing

9. izathewzia (3493) | 9 months ago | My mom planted a lot of plants in front of our house. I like it. Because it beautifies the house in front. And it is so relaxing to look at. It gives life and makes my house environmentally tune up.
