We’ve started taking reusable bags to the grocery store. Not only are we not wasting plastic bags anymore, but the stores give us $.05 off our bill for every bag we bring! Good for the earth and our wallets!
Thanks for the chance to win this shirt- love it!

Don’t leave the water on while you brush your teeth and make sure you bring reusable bags with you everywhere!

my fave green tip is cloth diapering. Cloth diapers are cute, look comfy and earth friendly! :)

Wow! there are a lot of useful tips here. Here are two of mine that I don’t think I saw on the list.

(1) In the HOT South, we close the blinds or drapes on the sun-side of the house to cut down on cooling. Also, we keep the thermostat at 79 – 80 F.

(2) We almost always use cloth napkins, even in kids’ school lunches!

Amie July 30, 2008 at 11:58 pm

Cute tee. Would love to win one.

Green tip: we have a programmable thermostat that we set at 78 during the day and lover in the evening. It has helped greatly, because it turns on/off on its own. We were always forgetting to turn it up in the AM.

I could always use another t-shirt!

Green tip: Save plastic containers that can’t be recycled to use for kids crafts and organization of craft supplies.

Before I started using my reusable bags we reused the plastic bags we got from shopping as trash bags. I also clean with vinegar and baking soda.

The Nest Egg July 31, 2008 at 4:41 pm

Reuse glass jars instead of using plastic.

We recently put out boxes at the nursing home where I work, so residents can have their newspapers recycled. A lot of our residents subscribe to a daily paper, and it makes me cringe to think of the amount of newspapers we used to throw in the garbage!

Jackie B. August 1, 2008 at 12:08 am

Cute tee. Would love to win it! My tip is to clean hard water deposits with either vinegar or lemon juice.

My tip: Join a CSA! It will give you healthy, fresh, local (and often organic) vegetables that haven’t been shipped long distances, build community, and help to support farmers in your area who are doing it right.

Here’s my green tips:

I drive my car only when I have to and I try to re-purpose any thing I can instead of throwing it away only to end up in a landfill.

The tees are really cute!

My “green” tip is to only drive when you need to to conserve fuel and don’t use electricity when you don’t have to. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win. Thanks.

We just stopped using paper towels altogether by buying a lot of rags from the dollar store.

Miranda August 1, 2008 at 1:01 pm

Love the tees! My favorite green tip s to use a baking soda paste as a degreaser on the stovetop.

I've seen these & would love to win one!

My green tip: shower every other day- and reduce your time to 5 minutes. Use a timer if you need to!

Samantha P August 1, 2008 at 4:33 pm

favorite green tip! use the back of old printed paper, it saves paper and money!

candace August 1, 2008 at 5:28 pm

buy local… here in cali where i live, we have something called abundant harvest organics and every week they deliver fresh organic fruits and veggies preboxed… so every saturday we go and pick up our box of goodies… even comes with recipes!

jj August 1, 2008 at 8:33 pm

Instead of wasting money and CO2 on paper towels for simple things like drying hands and cleaning small spills in the kitchen, keep a small pile of dish towels on the counter.

My favorite green tip is to recycle plastic bags that cover my Sunday newspaper by using them to cover shoes, dog poop pick up bags and use them as trash bags in my car.

klp1965 August 1, 2008 at 10:26 pm

I MAKE my kids do an extra chore each time they leave a light on in an unoccupied room :)

OnlyOnSale August 1, 2008 at 10:42 pm

use reusable shopping bags.. it is SO easy!

Sylvia P August 1, 2008 at 11:24 pm

try and reuse foil, plastic rap and plastic bags whenever you can, get the most out of them before you throw them away!

Lori August 2, 2008 at 1:00 am

I bought local corn today. Buy and shop local.
