The school I work out has currently began a recycling program. No paper is allowed to be recycled unless it has been used on both sides and no paper is allowed to be thrown away. This is the same for cans. Every week the Ecology club goes around and collects all of the recycling bins in the entire school!

I currently work in a Grammar school and my friends and I have formed a Cleaner and Greener club to help make the students more aware of our environment. This past week, we held an Earth Day Parade with the children in grades K-4. We do activities throughout the year to foster an understanding of the world around us and how everything we do(even as youngsters) affects our earth. I am so glad that the rest of the world is finally doing something for this cause.

I think it’s important to note on tip #6 that paper bags aren’t any better for the environment than plastic. Reusable bags are definitely an eco-friendly option, but if you’re still choosing between paper and plastic don’t assume that paper is better because it comes from trees.

I am addicted to green bags. I have at least 35.Whenever i go to the store for a couple of things and forget to bring them in, i just buy a another green bag, rather than use plastic.

[...] Eat Vegetarian! I am personally a vegetarian for lots of reasons, but a great reason to eat vegetarian just once a week (or month) is that will help cut down on emissions: both from the trucks used to transport, but from the cows themselves. “Cows are responsible for 20 percent of U.S. emissions of methane, which traps 20 times more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.” (source) [...]

These are great reminders. Sometimes, you read a list like this and think, “I already know this” then you leave the water running while brushing your teeth and the article jumps to the front of your mind and says, “Thought you already knew this.” It’s good to get these reminders.

Like you said, while these steps are simple, actually doing them daily takes concerted effort. I remember my transition to reusable shopping bags., It took at least 3 different attempts to actually take the bags in the store with me even though they were sitting on the seat next to me. Now, that I have that covered, my next project is taking my reusable “leftover box” to the restuarant. Wish me luck.

Everyone can contribute in simple ways. If everyone participated in sweeping the lanes and front of their houses, Montreal would be a very clean city.

Suggest one look to responsible folks for advice on chemical toxicities – like the FDA. As impressive as the “Cosmetic Safety Database” sounds, it’s not responsible for anything it publishes and in fact is not a scientific org.
