| | Outdoors and Away from Home • Grow groundcover plants that have low fertilizer, pest-control, and
water needs. Lawn grass is high-cost both to the environment and your
wallet.
• Shovel snow so you don’t need to use salt or gas-fed snow blowers.
• Use a bucket, and not the hose, to wash the car.
• Make sure your kids don’t carve things into trees – eventually it can kill
them.
• Start a garden to grow your own produce.
• Form a carpool to get kids to and from school and other activities. It will
help the environment and cut down on the time you spend driving to and
fro. Ride a bike or walk whenever you can.
• Bring canvas bags grocery shopping. |
| | |
| | Home Office • Buy recycled products for all paper and envelope needs.
• Print on both sides of paper if you can.
• Recycle fully-used paper.
• Use toxin-free inks.
• Send invitations and other correspondence by email rather than paper
mail.
• Turn off your computer’s monitor when you’re not planning to use it
immediately. Turn the computer off completely if you won’t be using it
for an extended period of time. |

| | Laundry Room
• Use cold water in the washing machine with cold water detergent.
• Don’t run the washer or dryer unless they’re full.
• Clean the lint filter to reduce energy usage.
• Hang clothes up to dry rather than using the dryer.
• Insulate your water pipes.
• Don’t over-dry clothes. Take them out while they’re still a bit damp, and
you might not need to iron, either.
• Make sure that the dryer’s exhaust vent is clean. |
| | |
| | Bathroom
• Fix leaky faucets.
• Use a low-flow shower head.
• Turn off the faucet while you brush your teeth or shave – turn it back on
only when you’re done and it’s time to rinse.
• Opt for a shower rather than a bath to save water.
• Take shorter showers – use a timer and see how you do!
• Dry your hands on cloth towels.
• Use earth-friendly soaps and shampoos.
• Make an effort to use less toilet paper, and teach your kids to do the
same.
• Don’t use the toilet to flush tissues, cigarettes, or anything else unusual. |
| | |
| | Bedroom
• Use linens made from organic cotton or hemp.
• Get an organic mattress that doesn’t emit toxic fumes.
• Make sure all electronics and lights are turned off before going to bed.
• Turn the thermostat down while you sleep. |
