So concidering all they ways to go green I have come up with one I use alot! Jut think of how much paper is being wasted a year from shopping lists!? Well if you have a cell phone that you can type down notes in (usually called note pad. I use this method, not only does it save paper but since I always seen to have my phone and forget thoese little peices of paper at home anyway it comes in handy to be at the tip of my fingers in my phone. What do you other mylotters think? Do you do this too? Would you try it to go green? What are your Ideas?

I'm not too much of a green person but I like your idea about using the functions on your cell phone to keep information. I've used the camera for a few things such as taking a picture of something so I would know what I was looking for at the store. I use the voice memo to remind myself of ideas for books and such.

my apricot tree - This is where I get the main ingredient for one of my presents. A beautiful old apricot tree in my back yard.
I am more green as I don´t make a shopping list. For me, Christmas is not mainly about presents so I only buy a small but nice present for the little ones and the rest get homemade things. I recycle jars all year and give apricot jam from my apricot tree and other recieve an orange-carrot jam and relishes made by myself. I save ribbons to give the jars a Christmasy look and if I don´t have a nice piece of paper I use bits of old material and a band on top of them.

Orange and carrot jam on the go - This is a picture taken of the jam I make. It´s easy and unexpensive as carrots lower the price. My people love it.
Thanks Candy! My people make me blush with the compliments. I guess it´s because noone makes homemade jams anymore. I´m sending you a picture of my orange and carrot jam while I make it. I took pictures of the steps tp make it for a canadian friend.

I use scratch paper and recycle it after I'm done. Wouldn't the cellphone use some energy and batteries too?
