OTHER IDEAS: Use less water, take reusable bags and backpacks when shopping or going to the library, try to grow some of your own food or shop @ Farmer’s Markets so your food is produced locally, use a travel mug or thermos instead of plastic bottles, turn things off when not in use, walk where you want to go, or ride a bicycle!
