Answer 2

Answer:

Determine Your Impact: The Eco Footprint, Carbon Footprint and Water Footprint calculators give you a great way to determine how you are impacting the environment.

Reduce Purchases: In general, think before you buy any product - do you really need it? How did the production of this product impact the environment and what further impacts will there be with the disposal of the product (and associated packaging materials)? When you are thinking about buying something, try the 30-Day Rule -- wait 30 days after the first time you decide you want a product to really make your decision. This will eliminate impulse buying. The free, downloadable Wallet Buddy from The Center for a New American Dream is a great constant reminder to make sustainable purchases (including avoiding unessentials).

Observe an Eco-Sabbath: For one day, afternoon or hour a week, don't buy anything, don't use machines, don't switch on anything electric, don't cook, don't answer your phone and, in general, don't use any resources. (source)

Replace Disposables: Wherever possible, replace disposable products with reusable ones (i.e., razor, food storage, batteries, ink cartridges (buy refill ink), coffee filters, furnace or air conditioner filters, etc.).

Buy Used: Buy used products whenever possible. Some sources:

local thrift stores

Ebay

Craigslist

Amazon (search on refurbished then click on links in left sidebar or search for specific refurbished product)

Freecycle (free!)

local newspaper listings

local material exchange sites (search in your area)

garage sales (search in your area in the 'for sale' > 'garage sales' section

used refurbished computers (check your computer manufacturer's website or Amazon.

Make Your Own: Whenever possible, make your own products to cut down on waste and control the materials used. Here are some great inspirations: pinterest diy projects and apartmenttherapy household cleaning recipes and a great homemade toothpaste recipe.

Borrow From Friends: If you only need something temporarily, ask if a friend or neighbor would loan it to you.

Share With Friends: Share things like books, magazines, movies, games, and newspapers between friends and neighbors.

Tree-Free Home: As much as possible, create a tree-free home:

replace paper napkins with cloth napkins

Paper Towels
