Reducing your carbon footprint.

AD720 · 09-09-2009, 07:18 PM

I enjoy taking public transportation or walking as opposed to driving (but a lot of that has to do with living in the city), I like to open the windows instead of running the A/C when possible, we recycle everything that is possible in our area, stopped buying bottle water, drive fuel efficient vehicles, reduce the amount of waste we create by using re-usable as often as possible (no plastic plates or cups, reusable grocery bags), go "green" with our correspondence by opting for paper-less billing. If we had any outdoor space we would definitely compost but for now we put as much food waste as possible in the garbage disposal to cut down on landfill usage.

It's about doing a lot of little things that really add up.

The nice thing about most of those things is that they save us money as well. Win-win.
