OH! And I have those new energy saving light bulbs all over the house. Replace as many of your old light bulbs with these and it truly makes a difference on the amount of energy you use… the electric bill the first month of using them dropped about $35 and remains that way! I’m all about reducing the amount of money it takes to pay bills!

I also pay every single bill, that allows me to do so, online. That way I don’t have to waste paper or spend the money on stamps. Paperless billing sort of scared me at first because I wasn’t sure I would remember when everything was due, but you always get reminded by e-mail, so as long as you check e-mail on the regular, I think that’s a great option.

I guess I’m doing more green things than I even realized! I look forward to learning more though… thanks Nina & Sophie!! =)

I have like 5 Sigg bottles and love them. We use a water filter (under the sink) and I fill my bottle at the faucet.

Sigg rocks!

I always use cloth bags. I avoid plastic bags, even when buying produce. If I must (like when I buy grapes or brussels sprouts) I take the bags back to the store and toss in their recycling bin.

Another tip: Buy local seasonal produce, preferably organic.

To remember my bags (it took a while to get used to), I keep them in the car and make a habit to get them out and put them in a cart before I get Milo out. It kind of sucks when it’s raining or really cold.

I hate when baggers seem annoyed with the reusable bags and only put one or two items in each bag.

Hi Leah! We need to be better about turning off the lights.
