    growing and preserving your own food and cooking at home from scratch from bulk buy staples will probably reduce the most, since food packaging seems to be more than half the trash thrown out. I know when my family of 5 made that switch we went from 1-2 bags of trash a week to about 1 bag every 2 weeks.

    I like green ! ! ! (and religion), so I combined a page for green and religious enthusiasts to unite.

    I added this page of yours to the right sidebar widget under related pages using the discovery toolbar. It's about "Is Green Earth Biblical?" Located here on squidoo at christianity-myths

    We are always talking about recycling but often forget about reducing. Your lens is a step in the right direction. Thumbs up!

    Great tips and advice, we live in a rented flat, so that limits what can be done, but I'm always looking out for new ideas to try! Shall be coming back to see more!

    Well, I think it is this green philosophy which has kept me up at nights ... let me explain! I am currently trying to stay warm in mom's fifth wheel -- it has been brutally cold in here, particularly at night, over the past two weeks. Today, I AM warm because MOM prodded me to turn that furnace on ... the problem with THAT is that it is NOT green! I blow through a 30 gal tank of propane every 4 days to bring a little warmth inside. It keeps me awake at night ... well, that and the cold and the 45 mph winds which whip the bejeebers out of this place. Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas my dear.

    Taking My County's Public Transportation System to get around!

    Its less stress, and a lot cheaper, but you do have to trade the amount of time it takes to get around...

    Great Lens and great tips! If only more people in the world knew some of these...even half of the list!

    Don't buy new stuff in the first place. If you actually NEED it (not just want it), get it off the Freecycle, borrow it, rent it, or buy used before buying a new thing.

    I like your green list. This will really help. Readers should implement this, start in your home.
  • totalhealth Jun 10, 2010 @ 4:32 pm | delete
    excellent lens, surely there are unlimited ways on how we can reduce our consumption and the amount of waste that we throw out. all we need is to be resourceful and be creative on how to recycle or to reuse the resources taht we have.

    This is my second time coming back here but I'm always impressed with how well written and organized this lens is. Great job!

    Also, you can reduce trash by using plastic food containers--ie sour cream containers, butter containers, etc--as tupperware. Great lens!

    Great resource, as always, thanks for sharing!

    I liked the part about growing your own vegetables. You can turn your yard into a food producing resource instead of wasting resources on landscaping that only costs you money.

    Great list with practical tips something I've always loved. I hope to learn more in next visit.
  • JollyvilleChick Jan 8, 2010 @ 4:31 pm | delete
    Well done - presented a list of 50 items without making the lens a mile long. I do many of the things, including cooking double meals. Instead of baking one piece of chicken at a time, I bake four at the same time. The first one is for that night and the others are intended to be left-overs.

    Excellent tips. I already do practice a few of your suggestions and will try to do more. Squid Angel blessing for this environmental friendly lens :)
  • Ramkitten Sep 1, 2009 @ 1:46 pm | delete
    I read through your list and am happy to report that I do most of those things. But I found a few that I need to pay attention to. Thanks for the ideas. Great lens!

    Another great list! Our family already does many of these things, like using cloth shopping bags and stainless steel travel mugs. It feels great to reduce consumption!
