Ten (10) Simple Things

  1. Select double-sided versus single-sided when printing and photocopying documents.
  2. Take notes on both sides of your notebook paper.
  3. Encourage electronic communications over printed communications.
  4. Paper or Plastic? Neither! Carry reusable bags in your car and take them into stores when shopping.
  5. Plan your car trips so many things can be done at once—also try not to drive one day a week.
  6. Recycle your soda can.
  7. Reduce junk mail. Opt-out by taking your name of mailing lists. Ask the company to send an electronic catalog instead.
  8. Try to find a local source for everything you consume.
  9. Use white vinegar and a lint free cloth instead of glass cleaner and paper towels for cleaning.
  10. Drink filtered tap water instead of buying bottled water.
