Stop using bottled water – In most cases it is no safer than tap water and costs 3 times as much gasoline and 1,ooo times as much as tap water
Bring your own reusable grocery bags with you when you go to the store
Use a refillable dispenser for your hand soap and dish washing liquid, one large bottle is better than using a bunch of small ones
Use a reusable container instead of sandwich bags
Bring your own to-go mug with you to the coffee shop
Say no to single serving packaging, buy in bulk and share with friends instead
Use silverware instead of plactic utensils, keep a set at the office, bring a set on a picnic or to the beach
Download your music instead of buying CD’s
Seek out items that are not made of plastic
