| Energy Piggy Bank
|
|
I got tired of finding unneeded lights on so we developed a penalty piggy bank for offenders in the family. Every time someone leaves a light on (that they no longer need,) and another family member notices, they have to put a nickel in the piggy bank (I have young children, you could use a dime, a quarter or whatever penalty you want.)

Use the space where your lawn is growing to grow food or at least use some kind of living ground cover that you do not have to use up natural resources to water, fertilize, weed, and cut.

| Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Compost
|
|
Reducing, reusing, recycling and composting saves energy, landfill space, and natural resources. These measures also keep our air cleaner because they help reduce pollution, when compared to manufacturing with raw, virgin materials. Compost when possible. Each person creates nearly 100 lbs. of food waste a year.

| Organic Lawns
|
|
Consider organic lawn care. The chemicals you put in your yard and on your lawn go affect our drinking water and wildlife.

There are lots of people out there both on the Internet and in books, suggesting that you use your grey water from the washing machine to water the gardens. But they are very short on the practical side of things about exactly how do you do it.

| Ecological Parties and Picnics
|
|
If you are having a party or picnic it is often easier to buy disposable utensils, plates and cups to save time when cleaning up. By doing this you end up throwing a lot of paper and plastic away.
