• What steps can average people take to live a "greener" life? Do you have any tips to share?

  This is one of my favorite topics! It really is the little things that add up when trying to "go green".
  
  *Switch to CFL (squiggly) lightbulbs.
  *Use reusable shopping bags instead of taking the plastic bags at the store.
  *Carpool.
  *Minimize car trips. Get as many errands run at one shot as possible.
  *Recycle! See what's actually accepted by your local recycling center, some of the stuff will surprise you!
  *Use a reusable water bottle instead of buying bottle after bottle of name-brand water.
  *Walk or bike whenever possible.
  *Minimize unnecessary purchases. The  more crap you buy, the more waste you produce. And if you do have to buy something, try to find a product with minmal packaging.
  
  There are so many little ways to help keep our Earth beautiful! Remember that God put us on this planet to CARE for it, not to DESTROY it!   

  I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
