It takes time and $. The big one next year will be a wind generator, our plans have been approved by our neighborhood association. I cringe when I get a 25-50 page catalog that we've opted out of even if it is recycled. In the past 6 months my weekly wash has been reduced from 5 loads to 3. If necessary, we can push clothes washing to bi monthly. An invest of about two dozen microfiber towels have reduced paper towel purchases by 50% because I wash them with part of the 3 loads. The big problem is the recycle bins stragetically placed in our city are always full. Since 2004, we bring our own bags to grocery stores and most grocery chains give the customer 5 cents per bag. Lighting was worth the investment to LED floods and other "green" sources. Timers for bathroom fans had been worth it as well. CC.org, keep educating. Thanks!
