1. Avoid using plastic bags. Carry out items without a bag when you can conveniently hold them in your hands. Bring your own reusable canvas or cloth bags shopping with you.

2. Switch to compact florescent light bulbs when your incandescents burn out.

3. Recycle. Most people now recycle their cans, bottles and paper but many other items should avoid landfills too.

4. Buy only what you need and shop locally for food items. 

5. Conserve water by turning it off when you are brushing your teeth, doing only full loads of laundry and dishes, and installing efficient shower heads and faucets.

6. Stop buying bottled water.

7. Make your own non-toxic cleaning products that are safe enough to eat. 

8. Find good homes for your unwanted things.

9. Pay your bills online and cancel paper statements.

10. Unplug appliances and electronics that are used infrequently.
