- Save plastic bags and reuse as garbage bags
- If you can stick a newly purchased item in your pocket or bag, tell store clerk that you don’t need a bag.
- Shut down your computer when not in use.
- Take out all plugs from outlets when not in use, they are still using energy!
- Take shorter showers and do not let the water run, while you catch the last minute of the Hills.
- Use tote bags in place of plastic bags when grocery shopping at your local Gristedes or D’Ags.
- Wash your dishes by way of your newly manicured hand, rather than shoving the dishes into the dishwasher.
- Open some windows and/or turn on a fan rather than using an air conditioner when temperatures are scorching.
