		<description>Great post!  My list is actually from a post I wrote on my blog last year, with a few more things added on.  We...

1. Use a programmable thermostat to automatically turn down the heat at night.
2. Compost.
3. Get/Pay all my bills electronically.
4. Don&#039;t smoking.
5. Use wind-up flashlights.
6. Use rechargeable batteries for digital camera.
7. Use cold water for laundry.
8. Don&#039;t use dryer sheets.
9. Enforce a shoes-off-at-the-door policy.
10. Recycle everything that can be recycled.
11. Use reusable bags instead of plastic grocery bags.
12. Use towels at least 5 times before changing them.
13. Growing indoor plants.
14. Use natural dishwashing liquid.  (Method products are my favourite.)
15. Use Norwex cleaning cloths and water for everyday cleaning (diluted dishwashing liquid for heavier dirt).
16. Properly dispose of my used batteries at a local hazard waste depot.
17. &quot;If it&#039;s yellow, let it mellow...&quot;
18. Pick up litter when I spot it.
19. Continue to reuse our ugly fake Christmas Tree and reuse our favourite ornaments, instead of buying new Christmas decorations.
20. Have occasional &quot;inside days&quot; when we don&#039;t go out and spend money.
21. Drive a fuel efficient vehicle.
22. Own one vehicle for family use.
23. Live centrally where every convenience is in walking distance.
24. Xeriscaped the front yard. (No lawn!)
25. Don&#039;t let the car run idle.
26. We turn off lights and computer monitors when not in use.
27. Use reusable water bottles.

Again, great post.  I was feeling like I wasn&#039;t doing much, but when I looked at this list, I started feeling better about myself.  Thanks!</description>
