Some ways I try to keep green (in addition to some of the things you've listed): - walking almost everywhere - recycling my paper (ie. using old term papers to re-print articles! haha) - composting - by local and organic whenever possible - eat in season when possible - avoiding food that comes in too much packaging - only doing laundry when I have built up enough for a large load (otherwise I'll hand-wash smaller items) - turning off all the lights and electronics when I leave a room - turning down the heat at night aaand that's all i can think of right now! :) .-= Darryn (brio.gusto)´s last blog ..<a href="http://briogusto.wordpress.com/2010/02/26/meeting-robert-kenner-director-of-food-inc/" rel="nofollow">Meeting Robert Kenner, director of “Food, Inc.”!</a> =-. I love that you posted these – every so often, no matter how “green” we are, we all need to be reminded that there is more we can do.

Some ways I try to keep green (in addition to some of the things you’ve listed):
- walking almost everywhere
- recycling my paper (ie. using old term papers to re-print articles! haha)
- composting
- by local and organic whenever possible
- eat in season when possible
- avoiding food that comes in too much packaging
- only doing laundry when I have built up enough for a large load (otherwise I’ll hand-wash smaller items)
- turning off all the lights and electronics when I leave a room
- turning down the heat at night

aaand that’s all i can think of right now! :)

Thanks for sharing! I'm always look for ways to be more eco-friendly! Eat less meat is one that people often over look. I'm not saying everyone needs to be a vegetarian, but even consuming a few meat free meals per week would make a huge difference! .-= Karla´s last blog ..<a href="http://foodologie.com/2010/02/27/just-a-taste/" rel="nofollow">Just a Taste</a> =-.
