1. Recycle. I recycle paper, plastics # 1 and #2, coke cans, veggie cans, glass, newpaper.
2. I keep the lights off. I get home at 3:15 and stay home alone most days until 8:30. The only lights that are kept on is the one in my room and a lamp in the living room so the dog cans see how to get around and eat (she had a slipped disc and surgery and can%26#039;t walk good.)
3. I drive a Ford Aspire. It currently gets 25 miles to a gallon, but some things need to be fixed on it so i should get more later.
4. We catch rainwater in 5 gallon buckets and a big barrel to give the dogs and animals water. We also use it to water the plants and garden in the summer.
5. In the summer we grow a garden and produce our own produce. Peppers, green beans, potatoes, caneloupe, eggplant, okra, squash.
How can I reduce my rather large footprint?
