  1. Im not going to list 100 things but i can give you a few things you can do. 1. Recycle things like..... News paper Glass Plastic Certain cardboards 2. Save energy and Turn of any extra running electricity 3. Use and save any paper that is blank and still can be used. 4. Plant trees 5. Be outside more when its nice out so you dint have to use energy. 6. If you cant go outside because its nasty out, try doing other things that doesn't involve electricity.
  2. Below is a list of 100 and another site that is good but if you want the biggest one thing that is "green" REDUCE which simply put is don't waste whether it is leaving the lights on or having a drafty home that your heated/cooled air goes outside.
  3. Recycle paper, cardboard, and other things like the newspaper. Go to a bottle and can recycle place and get money for recycling your cans and bottles. Plant trees. Before going to bed if you go to the bathroom and do number 1, don't flush because many other family members will probably go to the bathroom during the night and you will save money because you don't have to flush several times during the night, just do it in the morning. Stop eating meat!!! The meat industry causes for global warming than all the cars, trucks, boats, planes, and ships in the world combined!! Those are just some of the ways to help the earth while saving money!
  4. can't give 100,but... reusable canvas shopping bags recycle compost shop thrift/vintage go meatless 2 times a week don't buy soda or bottled water air dry clothing wash clothing in only cold buy food with minimal packaging buy fresh produce,locally and organically grown cut shower time in half and about a zillion more things. i feel good about myself,silly as it sounds,to be making a small difference.i don't push myself,but i love to share info if folks ask. peace and love
