Re: Treading lightly on the earth
do all our errands in one day
recycle like crazy
buy milk in glass bottles that get re-used
bring our own bags to the store
breastfeed
cloth diaper
dry clothes outside as much as possible
cloth napkins & rags
homemade cleaning solutions
all organic foods
buy in bulk when possible
walk to the store when possible
shower every other day (except in summer)
keep the thermostat low in winter
no pestcides/herbicides in the yard
compost
do all laundry in cold water (except diapers)
I'm saving for a front-loading washer, but it's pretty far down on "the list"
use low VOC paint
