Frugal and Environmentally Friendly?

As I look for ways to save money, I often discover that while trying to save money and live a frugal life, I also end up doing things in an environmentally friendly way. Since today is Earth Day we are starting a new Brainstorm that deals with just that. What tips do you have that are both good for the environment and your pocket book? Here's a few to get the ball rolling.

Car Purchase

Often, the more expensive the car you buy, the more it will cost to fuel. Buying a less expensive car that gets good gas mileage saves you money initially as well as down the road and it conserves fuel which is good for the environment.

Car Pooling

Car Pooling saves you money on gas and wear and tear on your car. It decreases traffic and emmissions.

Composting

Fruit, vegetable and yard waste is treasure that many people trash. It decompoases into valuable soil which can be used to grow tasty vegetables which will save you money at the grocery store.

What tips do you have that are both frugal and environmentally friendly?
