Reusable Tote Carry your groceries time and time again with this ecologically responsible grocery bag. Over 100 billion paper and plastic bags are thrown away each year in the U.S. Now you’ll have one you’ll want to hang on to. Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb Want to take the equivalent of one million cars off the road? Then get every household in America to swap one ordinary light bulb for a CFL. They may cost more, but they last up to 8 times longer and can cut your home lighting energy use by 75%. Source: McKay, Kim and Bonnin, Jenny. True Green. Washington, DC: National Geographic, 2006. Shorter Shower Nothing’s better than a long, hot, shower – except maybe a slightly shorter, hot shower. If you shave a minute off your shower you can save five gallons of water- and that can really add up. So lather and rinse within five minutes and get on with your day.

Doggie Bags We love our dogs, but until man’s best friend grows a conscience we’ll be cleaning up after them. So use the Business Bag instead of plastic when you’re picking up after your dog. It’s made of corn and fully biodegrades in 45 days. What better way to go from brown to green? Water Bottles Staying hydrated is important, but so is cutting back on the 30 million non-biodegradable plastic bottles that end up in landfills every day. So use and re-use this durable Sigg water bottle. It has a special resin on the inside to ensure that no harmful chemicals get between you and refreshment. Cotton Cloth Napkins Paper napkins are great for cleaning up messes, but they’re also creating a mess. If every American used one less napkin each day, it would save more than a billion pounds of napkins from landfills each year. So use a cloth napkin then just toss it into a load already destined for the wash and you’ve wasted no additional energy or water. Source: Rogers, Elizabeth and Kostigen, Thomas. The Green Book.

Over 100 billion paper and plastic bags are thrown away each year in the U.S. Now you’ll have one you’ll want to hang on to. Smart Strip Sometimes off is still on. When you turn your computer off, your monitor and printer are still drawing electricity. The Smart Strip senses when you have powered down and automatically suspends power to your peripherals. You’ll be saving energy you never even knew you were wasting. Tire Pressure Gauge We can’t all own hybrids, but we can squeeze more fuel efficiency out of our current vehicles. Keeping your tires properly inflated is a good place to start. It can improve gas mileage, keep hundreds of pounds of CO2 out of the atmosphere and extend your tire life by up to 25%.

This simple aerator installed on any bathroom faucet saves up to a gallon of water per minute from going down the drain. Because the last thing you want your water to do is disappear.
