I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Well, the amount of paper/plastic/whatever I recycle (my whole family, for that matter) is probably equal to the weight of a black hole. (very heavy) I recycle ANYTHING that is recyclable. I also try and cut down on driving places. Oh and we use fabric bags when we go grocery shopping. I constantly piss my parents off (ha ha, kidding) by urging them to turn off lights and TVs not in use. We did replace all our bulbs with those energy efficient ones. Blah blah regular environmentalist type talk...I don't think I do A LOT but I like to do some. When I get a car I also want it to be a pansy little hybrid, too.
So much for my gas-guzzling 1957 Ford Crown Victoria...
OH OH
I shop at thrift stores when I can and I try not to buy/wear red clothes. The dye to make clothes red is made from petroleum. D:

That's awesome! What type of tasks are involved?Originally Posted by Anza
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

I like to buy used stuff...I mean, there are so many things that can be recycled that plenty of people are just willing to throw away.

I walk to the university in winter and ride my bike there when there's no snow and ice (it's 8 kilometres a day - I'd go by bus if only there was one that would go there from here)
I use canvas bags when I go shopping.
I buy most of my books and CDs second hand (and sometimes some clothes, too)
I recycle paper, tin cans and milk/juice cartons and put bio waste in compost.
I use rechargeable batteries.
I always turn off the light when I leave a room.

I use GE Energy Star Light Bulbs that supposedly save $45.00 a year.

Ok, here is one for the computer users here (Every single one of us, that is):
There is no point in letting the peripherals connected to your computer use up a lot of power when you are not running it, is there? Get one of those master/slave power extensions, plug the computer in as master and everything else as slaves.
As soon as you turn the computer off, all peripherals will be shut off, and vice versa. Not only does it save energy, it will save you some money as well.

I had high speed internet installed recently. An installer from the phone company came over to set it up and told me that I "don't have to turn off the DSL box...eh, everybody leaves them on."

Oh, yeah, I do that kinda thing, too! Never thought about the computer, though, thanks! I will do that.

I've starting getting the electronic statements for my bills instead of the paper AND I just opted out of getting insurance/credit card offers for the next 5 years.

I DRIVE A COROLLA!
I take soda cans from the recycling bin and place them in the trash. I get hopped up on illegal mushrooms and find a chainsaw. I laugh maniacally as I cut down tree after tree after tree.
It's my therapy.
