We traded in our two Saturns for a Prius and we carpool to work and school now and consolidate our shopping trips and errands. (Public transport has to arranged days in advance.) We ride bikes and walk in the summer whenever we can. We use cloth grocery bags, reuse plastic and paper bags. We shop locally whenever we can but if we can find it locally we shop on-line. We usually opt to buy used books on-line. For the first time this year we have purchased a share in a local farm as part of Community Supported Agriculture. We buy as much bulk, organic, and natural products that we can find and affort, and we practice organic gardening. We are also members of a local food buying club to cut the middle man prices and get more quality choices in our food product. We buy a quarter of a bison from a local bison farm annually and otherwise eat fairly low on the food chain. We shop second hand stores and contribute plenty of our own stuff as donations. We recently made a list of home repairs and projects and decided the highest priority was anything having to do with energy conservation (windows, insulation, etc), so we're going to start there. Earth Day - Every Day!
