Recycle or compost most household waste so I trash very little, and use biodegradable garbage bags for kitty litter. Use the library. Do fewer, larger loads in an HE washer. Keep the thermostat low. Walk/bus when possible.
Ooh and pick up litter. About once a week when they weather is nice I use trash pickup as my workout.

I burn plastics.

1. I did not breed & still strongly advocate no-kidding.
2. during the 20 years of dwelling in countryside (no or little public transport) I had a car only for 7 years. during my citylife never. I hitchhike & cycle.
3. my diet is vegetarian, if not entirely vegan.
4. I use no more than 1.2kw in electricity per day.
5. I rarely buy new clothes.
6. I use ecologically accepted washing detergent, shampoo (not tested on animals), & all other soaps. I do not use dishwashing detergent at all - the perk of consuming watersoluble vegetable fats only

I'm a freak about recycling paper & cardboard.

I use a set of fabric shopping bags to offset the amount of plastic bags brought home, altho do need those, for dog poop.

I give away swamp milkweed every year for monarchs, even if I have to post it on craigslist and leave it on the curb. I used to rear but too busy and fugitive caterpillars aren't fun to worry about.

I realized we all have a negative affect on the environment, myself included and I actively sought ways to minimize my impact. It is an ongoing process. Moving to a rural location was one big step.

1. I installed a rainwater harvesting system. No water comes from a commercial source.
2. I have acquired a lot of bags from different organizations. I reuse plastic bags, even the wax paper bags from the cereal boxes.
3. Ditto with the paper towels. 1 roll lasts several months.
4. Salt and baking soda are good for scrubbing pans. “The Queen of Clean complete cleaning guide” is a good reference book.
5. I have a septic. Our county is one of he few counties that allow owners to inspect their own system. But first one must take a course about how the system works and ways to preserve it. No chemicals whatsoever go into the septic. Vinegar instead of fabric softener (the worse thing for a septic). I also have small towels soaked in vinegar and a scent for dryer sheets. I have a shop and have to be careful with solvents. I try to use water solvent paints and after cleaning the brushes the solution goes into a bucket, which is set out in the sun to evaporate. The solids go into the trash.
6. Extra food is frozen or canned. There is a big locavore movement here so a lot of food comes from my or somebody’s garden. We have a gleaning group and extra food (especially fruit) is shared. I am a food label reader and avoid things (like olive oil) that come from outside the U.S. The thing that has the biggest impact is food choices. I became a vegetarian, it wasn’t that hard. I also compost everything even paper towels and used Kleenex's (shredded paper can form a nest in the compost bin to soak up extra moisture).
7. I insulated my house and keep the thermostat at around 66. I have also installed solar panels and built a South facing sun room to take advantage of passive solar.
8. I bought a small PriusC but since I live near our town center I walk or bike when possible.
9. I try to not use gasoline powered lawn equipment. I get laughed at for my wusy electric blower and weed whacker.
10. We have a special transfer station (dump) and we take pride in our clean recycling process. Rinse out cans/jars and sort. We also have a big take-it or leave-it section. My toaster oven and microwave came from there. Stuff brought in is inspected to make sure no trash or broken things are turned in. Used clothing is very popular. Oh, and we also have a thrift shop.
11. One biggie is money. Years ago a book came out (it’s on it’s 2nd printing) titled “Your Money or Your Life”. This book and a movement called ‘Voluntary Simplicity’ gave me a new way of viewing money and consumption. It is a big deal and well worth looking into. There were workshops all over the Pacific NW and it even extended to the LA area (the symbol was a hearse with a luggage rack). The initial meeting had over 700 people attending.
12. The most important thing is to be informed and questioning everything. Activities as protests, writing what is known as scoping letters (this is a big and important deal in our part of the country), attending meetings, joining groups especially boards, taking and giving classes and workshops and basically being involved (like being a part of this site) and asking questions like this.

Pisses me off that my township's recycling program no longer takes plastic bags. Would anyone know why? A quick perusal on Google showed that only half of municipalities and townships accept plastic bags for recycling. I hate sending anything to the landfill I don't have to.

#1 I don't usually drink bottled water even if I didn't buy it.
I'm trying to find a ride to work so I don't have to drive. Smaller carbon footprint.
I enjoy cooler temperatures in the house.

No A/C in house
Cloth towels instead of paper napkins/ towels

Very Rarely eat meat

I make my hookers drive hybrids to meet the johns!
