I use green cleaning products, buy from farmers markets, recycle, use cloth instead of dispobable,
I use green cleaning products and health and beauty aids. I recycle, compost and use energy efficient products. I have my own vegetable garden in which I use no herbicides or pesticides and feed it with compost only. I am getting energy efficient windows, had an energy audit done and heat with mostly wood in our home.
We always try to buy used or recycled before consuming new materials.

I have switched to green cleaning products

The most important thing I do is spend my dollars wisely. What impact will my purchase have? Every dollar sends a message. If it cost just a bit more to be more eco-conscious it’s worth it to show that we don’t have to give up things to make a positive impact on the greater good of the world.
What’s the most important thing you do in order to live a more eco friendly lifestyle? No more bottled water, now I use a water filtration pitcher and reusable containers to drink it from.

I try to buy locally and recycle, thanks!
There isn’t just one thing-it is our way of living to be careful with the environment. Period. We are thoughtful consumers- we try to buy local and shop the farmer’s market as much as possible. We re-use as much as we can, drink out of stainless steel water bottles refilled at home, turn the water off in the shower while we lather, use vinegar, citrus peels and baking soda to clean the house and soap nuts and dryer balls for our laundry to avoid chemicals in our bodies and water system. Our cat litter is diatomaceous earth. We shop second hand stores and use groups like freecycle and classified ads to keep items out of landfills. We collect rain water and water leftover from cooking for our plants and garden. We carpool, walk and bike whenever possible. It is just how we live, trying to be more in harmony with each other and our environment.
I recycle, use green cleaning products, and walk whenever possible.

I do a lot of little things and am trying to incorporate more. I use reusable bags, we drink filtered water in reusable bottles, I do most of my laundry in cold water and shop regularly at the Farmers’ Market.
The thing that I do to contribute to our eco-system is that I faithfully recycle everything.
What’s the most important thing I can do in order to live a more eco friendly lifestyle?
I can be more thoughtful in how I use resources. The comes with purchases, usages and when I have to waste, then I recycle, first in our home and then to recycling facilities
Recycle and buy from the local farmers market!
Thanks
I always recycle convince friends and family to recycle. I stopped driving long distances to work. I rese materials when I can and shop the local farmers markets.

I checked out their products and the most important thing I do to be eco friendly is to always recycle and this includes reusing items also, like packing materials. I try to keep whatever I can from ending up in the dump!
