Hybrid? Whole Foods? Making changes that make an impact doesn't have to be expensive. Just by changing some of our daily habits, we can make some great changes! Let's consider reduce, reuse, recycle...
REDUCE
Sometimes it takes a change of mind to change our behavior. The great American dream seems to be based quite a bit on consumption. Quit worrying about what the neighbors are doing. Conspicuous consumption is out - saving is in! Check out my new blog Penny Wise for some great money tips!
REUSE
Some simple things that usually make it to the trash bin can easily be reused. What about that empty yogert or sour cream tub? It would be perfect to take those almonds to work! Also those plastic bags we seem to get everywhere [or used to before we got our tote bags, right?] make great trash bags. Give things a thought before you toss.
RECYCLE
For some of us this is easy; we've got those great blue bins and don't have to give it a second thought. If you city doesn't have recycling pick up - demand it! Pick up the phone, start that letter campaign. If you're sick of collecting it yourself, make a plan with family, friends, or neighbors and take turns lugging it to the recycling center. Make the effort and a tree will hug you!
