    I am doing all I can each day to help ---- I purchase green products when I can even if they are slightly more costly, I promote companies that are trying to reduce their carbon footprint, I use energy efficient appliances and light bulbs, I have a programmable thermostat on my AC to try and reduce my energy consumption, I reduce, re-use, and recycle ANYTHING and everything I can, including clothing, waste, paper, plastics, and glass etc... I try every day to use my car less, and I'm trying to do all I can each day to make a difference...every little bit adds up!

    I recycle everything I can. I do not buy "green" products, they are just a come one to make money. If I want a green product, i.e. cleaning, I make my own. And I don't understand about leaving the water run when brushing your teeth, I never even THOUGHT about doing that, why would you need to do that anyway? Wet your toothbrush, add toothpaste, fill your glass with water. Brush your teeth, rinse the brush, rinse out your mouth with the water in your glass. Just seems like common sense to me, guess cause that's how I was taught.

    We've been much more aware of turning off lights, not wasting water and recycling. The whole family is involved and we are doing much better at conserving than in the past.

    All of the above and anything else within my power. It really bothers me that so many people are oblivious to how some very simple steps can all contribute to making this a better planet to live on. I really hate plastic grocery bags and wish we were like Europe where they are either not provided or only at a small fee. We went walking last weekend on the beach and you would not believe how many bags were washing up on shore. Just that waste alone can kill our mammals and harm our environment.

    I try my best to help the environment, such as saving energy, saving as much water as possible and trying to recycle as much as possible.
