An important reminder

You probably know that you should turn the water off when you're brushing your teeth, but do you remember to do it? If you're not so careful with that, consider this: You could save a thousand gallons per year from just this one good habit!

You can reduce your junk mail! :)

Just go to the Direct Marketing Association's dmachoice.org. You have to fill out a short form to create an account, then activate your new account by clicking a link in an email. Once you do that, you can opt out of receiving catalogues, magazine offers, and other offers with just a few clicks. You can even opt out of pre-screened credit card offers but you're taken to a different site to do so. This won't completely eliminate your junk mail, but it will go a long way toward reducing paper waste.

Until further notice, I'm getting ideas for tips from the book green MAMA by Tracey Bianchi.
