How I try to be green

Hello. I shop at farmers markets (and occasionally Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Market) and try to buy locally (and organic if possible), compost fruits and vegetables (their skins, seeds, and other leftovers), walk or take public transportation, borrow books from the public library often (instead of buying them), drink tap water with my own water bottle (from klean kanteen) use a mug or themos for hot drinks, perform household tasks with natural cleaners (i.e. seventh generation), buy clothes at thrift shops, reuse paper (post-consumer waste, the recycled kind) for scrap or re-print using the other side of the sheet, and of course follow the four r's (recycle, reduce, reuse, and renew)! But please don't feel overwhelmed. Making small changes truly does make a BIG DIFFERENCE! ^_^
