Going Green!?

With news headlines and magazine articles, the term "Going Green" has became apparent in home and office. Every little bit helps. Here are a few changes I have made:
1. Switching most of my household cleaners to Environment friendly. Seventh Generation cleaner brands or Simply Green brand

2. Recycle!!!! Start recycling my bottles and cans from beverages and household containers. Newspapers, mixed paper, magazines too. When using my computer printer, print on both sides of the paper. Have a scratch paper stack to throw in the printer when printing.

3.Switched laundry detergents to eco-friendly. Try Seventh Generation's

4. When possible, buying organic foods. Trader's Joes is great. "Free Trade" or Organic teas and other beverages.

5. Eliminating extra trips in the car. Try to run all errands in the same town to prevent excess trips.

Its not much but it is start and I am not sacrificing the way I live to an extreme. Every little bit helps!
