“I compost food scraps (not meat) and yard waste. I use canvas bags at groceries and carry a string bag in my purse. I hang my clothes out to dry, and use cloth napkins and order my toilet paper ,100% recycled, by the case. We do not use paper towels. I contribute to three environmental groups, plus I drive the original 2001 Prius!”
