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

  1. 4 levels of transportation whenever possible:
  1. Walk on short distance.  Don't drive your car if is only 5 blocks down or less.
     
  2. Bike on medium distance.
     
  3. Public Transportation for long distance if possible.
     
  4. Drive only when destination is only reachable by car.
     
  2. Buy at Farmer's Market when possible
  3. There's no need to invest everything organic just yet, I understand is not yet that affordable, but selectively choose your favorite foods and buy them organic, like milk, bananas, etc.
  4. Condensed flourescent light bulbs
  5. Put water bottle in your flush tank to save 1/4 of water
  6. Install low flow shower heads
     
  7. Plan a clothes swap with your friends rather than buy new clothes.  I know there is no such thing as same shape and same size for every person, but you'll save more resources needed to put new clothes on store shelves.
     

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