I'm Green, or Trying to Be

So I am trying to be green.  I have not bought water bottles since last year.  I have been using a refillable bottle so I am trying to save the landfills!  I am also trying to be better about bringing my own bags to the store.  I have a great reusable bag from Target that goes over the shoulder, so it's much easier to carry.   I also have 3 bags from Meijer for groceries and I even brought one of those into the drugstore yesterday.

My new thing that I am going to get is the dual flush toilets.  For anyone that doesn't know, those are toilets that have a separate flush for number 1 and for number 2 if you get what I am saying.  I have seen segments about these on Oprah and on Good Morning America.  It saves water.  I don't actually pay for water in my condo, but I figure I should try to save it anyway!

I also have been unplugging things when I am not using them.  These include my phone charger and PDA charger, my hair dryer and kitchen appliances.

If you have any other suggestions, let me know.
