[ES2000] How? - In Your Home...

Recycle everything you can: newspapers, cans, glass bottles and jars, aluminum foil, motor oil, scrap metal, etc.
Investigate local recycling centers that take items your garbage hauler does not.
Try to use phosphate-free laundry and dish soaps.
Use cold water in the washer whenever possible.
Don't use electrical appliances for things you can easily do by hand, like opening cans.
Re-use brown paper bags to line your trash can instead of plastic liners. Re-use bread bags, butter tubs, etc.
Store food in re-usable containers, instead of plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Save wire coat hangers and return them to the dry cleaners.
Take unwanted, re-usable items to a charitable organization or thrift shop.
Don't leave water running needlessly.
Install a water-saving shower head.
Set your water heater at 130 degrees.
Have your water heater insulated free of charge by your utility company.
Turn your heat down, and wear a sweater.
Lower your thermostat by one degree per hour for every hour you'll be away or asleep.
Turn off the lights, TV, or other electrical appliances when you're out of a room.
Get a free energy audit from your utility company.
Burn only seasoned wood in your woodstove or fireplace... and don't light them as often.
