Go Green in 2008: What to do when you leave your house

Posted by Pinky Bean on January 8, 2008 7:55 AM Filed Under: Life

I've spent the past couple of days discussing the things you can do around home to 'greenify' your lifestyle, from cleaning and organizing to conserving water. However, being environmentally friendly only starts there. Once you leave your home for the day to carry on with your daily business, there are still simple things you can incorporate into your routine to remain eco-conscious throughout the day.

Green: Take a reusable travel mug (or at the very least, your own resuable sleeve) to your local coffee shop with you rather than always using paper or styrofoam cups.
Greener: Ditch the plastic wrap: purchase reusable containers and cloth napkins and use them for your lunch.

Green: Walk or bike to the local convenience store instead of driving.
Greener: Convince your family to join you on your expedition.
