become a vegetarian, bring bags to the grocery store, not drive a car! and educate my family on how to save resources too.
on the road to sustainability, it's all about the baby steps...
i now have four or five of those coffee cup sleave things (whatever you call those finger-burn protectors) in every possible location (home,office,car,knapsack,wallet) so i never have to use one of those damn things again. at my current rate of consumption, that saves probably a tree every five years. i'm working up to the four or five portable mug pledge....
