1. Always use reusable bags when shopping, not only does this help the environment but it looks better too! No more ugly, breaking paper or plastic bags, and on to well designed, stylish, and reusable bags. Also, when running errands make sure to do them all at once in order to conserve fuel. Maybe try a store with everything you need rather than driving to several different locations.
2. Cut down on your energy use. Learn to relay on sunlight during the day, unplug appliances and other electronics when they aren't in use, and make sure to always turn off the light when leaving the room. By saving electricity, you're also going to save a lot of money.
3. Use less gas. Again by saving gas, you're also saving money. Make sure you're car is in good shape, and avoid extra acceleration and breaking. Cut down on your car travel, walk and bike if possible.
4. Try to eat locally. By eating locally produced foods you are not only helping local farmers, but also are eating fresher foods, and you're cutting down on the fuel used for transportation.
5. Last but not least, adopt a reusable water bottle. Most tap water is proven to be just as clean as bottled water, and again, by not buying plastic water-bottles you are saving more than just the environment. SIGG makes a line of colorful and cool stainless steel water-bottles that keep your drink ice cold!
Hopefully these tips seem doable! Good Luck!
