composting our way to more space

Composting is a great way to reduce what you send to the landfill, but it is important to know what you can put in your compost pile. You may not have known that items like old bread, crackers, cheese, wine corks, egg shells and even hair trimmings can be composted. http://earth911.com/news/2010/08/09/i-didnt-know-that-was-compostable/

When Bulk is Good

Buying in bulk can reduce the amount of resources you use when you buy groceries. More and more grocery stores are expanding their bulk sections and if you bring your own reusable bulk food bag you can save even more resources. http://www.simplefamilyliving.com/Food-Bags-c276/

Commuting

Save Money and the Environment. Commuting takes a real toll: on your car, on your health, and on the environment. Sharing a ride to work in a carpool or vanpool can be a great way to save – even if you only do it one day a week. http://www.icommutesd.com/Commuters/RideMatcher.aspx and as an added bonus you get to know someone else a little better.
