Here's one thing I did...mostly for apartment/condo dwellers....

I have CFLs everywhere (that also stands for Canadian Football League - what's left of it! ); trash cans about 3 ft tall with swinging removable lids. Each one has a green garbage bag, and when it's full with its recyclable, I haul out the bag and away she goes! Plastic, cardboard, newsprint, paper, bottles for return, plastic bags, and tin.

Looking forward to the new LED lightbulbs, as CFLs contain mercury and are hard to recycle!

Use 1/2 and 1/2 vinegar and water in a spray bottle - with clean dry reusable rags, cleans near EVERYTHING.

Driving isn't work - but maintaining my car's tire pressure (and rotating tires every 10,000 km/6,000 miles), regular oil changes, adding good quality fuel injector cleaner to the gas - increases the gas mileage!

I work out of town where there IS no transit...but I keep my rpms around 3,000 or as close as I can for most efficient fuel use.

PS - RICHARD, your solar tea container - isn't that RECYCLABLE? Rinse it out before you recycle it, there's a good lad!
