- We recycle all plastic, paper, cardboard, and aluminum foil products.
- Turn off the water faucet when brushing our teeth or when my husband shaves.
- We use only organic products on our lawn and gardens.
- We keep the back field as high grass for the wildlife to use for coolness, food and shelter.
- No watering of our lawn and we leave it on the high side as well, the birds also love all the bugs/insects they can find when it is like this. I have nest boxes up on my property to encourage the birds to nest in our yard, they help to eliminate the bugs and insects, thus saving us from having to use pesticides.
- My flowers do get watered twice a week but I have spanish moss and other moisture retention things in or on top of the soil.
- Energy star appliances.
- Air dry the clothes as much as possible.
- We have a compost pile for leaves, grass clippings, weeds, etc in the back yard. I am working on a compost bin for household things.
- I just recently ordered energy saving blinds for all our rooms, this will help to keep the house cool in the summer and warmer in the winter. With the cost of energy and oil, anything I can do to help reduce our cost is worth the little bit of extra money that the blinds cost.
