What have you changed...

We also recycle like you do. We've also in our home replaced the old windows and HVAC system so that we use less energy in our home. We also are getting ready to put in new insulation. As far as outside the house, we try to use our bikes as much as possible when we are running errands and when my husband is commuting to work. He has to drive the truck in the morning because he takes our daughter to school, but if the weather is nice when he comes home for lunch, then he will take his bicycle back to work for the rest of the day.

There are a lot of things you can do to go green of course, The first thing of course is buying a hybrid car, as most of us can't afford them of course but we do our best with doing things just around home. Using green products for cleaning is always a good thing and the best thing you can do at home i believe is to recycle and if you don't have enough recycling bins start using other things like laundry baskets so you don't throw them in the trash of course. Always using less water when showering and doing laundry will of course help you out with your water and electric bill and also helping the earth with water consumption and if your in a drought its important to monitor your water intake. There are so many things helping everyone and you even save money doing things that are for the green and better.

try to mostly rely on public means of transport.
plant more & more trees.
be a part of programmes which aim at protecting the nature

We recycle all paper products. We use green cleaners. We use gray water for the lawn and outdoor things. We have become much better at turning things off and conserving energy. We use canvas bags for shopping. Those are a few things we have done.

I have. I recycle more, but also use less energy and take public transportation more often than before.

I came through this in the web.Already I have stopped using plastic bags.Switching to cloth or paper bags seems to be the number one priority in making our life green
