Choose products with less packaging. Reduce mail – Don’t order catalogs, see the products online. 3. Reuse or recycle the packacing or boxes you get. Jelly jars are great for storaging crayons. Egg cartons are great fire starters and perfect for kids’ crafts. 4. Buy less but better quality. Buy better quality products, which will last longer. 5. Repair old items instead of just throwing away and buying a new one. Call the manufacturers – most have repair services. 6. Recycle your old things, like clothing – donate it or sell it on yard sales or eBay. 7. Save water. Only wash full loads of dishes or clothes. Sweep your driveway instead of hosing it. Don’t let the water run while brushing your teeth. 8. Save energy. Get Energy Star rated appliances and light bulbs. Turn off the light/monitor/TV/etc. when you leave the room. 9. Choose lower emission vehicles and drive less. Don’t keep the car running while waiting your kids in the school pick-up line, car pool with friends and make a shopping list to avoid many trips. 10. Buy organic. Less pesticides and fertilizers. No antibiotics, growth hormones, and feed made from animal parts. Better for you, better for the Mother Earth.
