We moved to an apartment within walking distance of my office and our place of worship. We only need to use the car to go to the grocery store or to visit grandchildren. The savings on utilities in an apartment is unbelievable!

1. Reusable cloth bags at *all* stores, not just the grocery store. 2. Cloth napkins, always. My daughter doesn't even recognize a paper napkin as a napkin. 3. Handkerchiefs whenever possible, instead of kleenex. jennifers last blog post..Studio Saturday -- Dinosaur Dig and Book Blitz

Never pay for air, water or packaging that you don't need. And of course, just bring home less stuff. Meg from FruWikis last blog post..FruWiki talk:Copyright information

Along the lines of #3, I'm liking Evernote. It's great to zip along and snag stuff into a personal info manager. It helps me cut down on wasting my energy. J.D. Meiers last blog post..Win the Heart the Mind Follows

Great list! I'll add: (1) We don't buy much processed food, which means that we have less packaging to throw away. (2) We usually use canvas bags to shop, but occasionally we do use plastic bags -- these all get reused to hold lunches that might leak or clothes that have been peed on (by my daughter, not me!) (3) We reuse vegetable scraps from cooking to make broth. After cooking, the scraps go in a bag in the freezer and come back out in a couple of weeks. We can cook a batch of broth in our pressure cooker in about 30-40 minutes (it takes a little while since they start from frozen). Angela V-Cs last blog post..Xtracycle shopping
