Reducer

Things I do to reduce my impact

- Refill my ink cartridges,
- print on both sides of paper, reuse for notes
- reuse glass jars,
- use cloth napkins instead of paper towels at the dinner table and cleaning. The only time I don't have a substitute is when I cook bacon and use it to dab off the grease. Ideas?
- donate egg cartons to the food bank,
- donate old clothes and stuff,
- buy thrift clothes and sometimes reconstruct them,
- get books and movies from the library instead of buying them,
- never buy bottled water, I have a Brita and travel mugs
- use cloth bags while shopping, but I take plastic shopping bags when I need more garbage bags. The garbage has to go in some type of bag - and those are free.
