You May Re-Use Tea Leaves

Submitted by Mr_Tip_a_Day on Fri, 10/22/2010 - 12:17

If you buy loose tea, you may certainly re-use the tea leaves. In fact, re-using tea leaves makes expensive teas an economical alternative to coffee, juices, and other beverages.

Don't Throw Away Unused Napkins

If you have left over napkins from when you eat out, take them with you and keep them in your car for when you need them.

Avoid Disposable Utensils and Styrofoam Plates

Submitted by Mr_Tip_a_Day on Sun, 09/12/2010 - 12:18

These usually add unnecessary garbage to our landfills. If you can find utensils and plates that are recyclable, that's better, but reusable is always best.

Buy Water in Biodegradable Bottles

Many plastic water bottles still end up in our landfills because not everyone recycles. If you can't recycle, consider buying the biodegradable bottles.

Do Your Shopping in Slightly Larger Quantities

Try to buy in larger quantities (groceries or supplies), but without having to waste food because it has gone bad. This will help reduce driving.

Reduce the Trash

You can sometimes tell how eco friendly your neighbors are by how much trash they put out for collection. Reduce trash by recycling and buying in bulk.

Eat locally grown food

Submitted by drummergurl on Mon, 06/21/2010 - 13:25

It takes 1,500 miles for food to travel from the field to your plate. This has tremendous impacts on the environment and your health, considering the carbon that is emitted into the atmosphere and the fuel that is consumed, not to mention the chemicals and preservatives that were used to ensure the food arrives fresh to your plate. Avoid the added environmental and health effects (as well as the added costs) by purchasing locally-grown foods at farmers' markets. Check out Local Harvest if you live in the United States.
