Happy Earth Day everyone! Here's what I've done today to save the world one day at a time:
- Ran my dishwasher late last night on light wash and no air dry
- Ran my washer late last night on the cold setting; cleaned the lint trap in my dryer and ran it late last night for 40 minutes (the exact amount of time it takes to get a full load dry)
- Packed a change of clothes for tonight in an overnight bag, not a plastic bag
- Picked up The Boy's poo in a biodegradable bag and threw it in the trashcan
- Drove my hybrid Escape to work
- Listened to an audio book borrowed from the library rather than buying a new one
- Drank my coffee out of a mug instead of a Styrofoam cup
- Reused my plastic cup for water instead of taking a new one
Tonight, I'll be using public transportation to attend the hockey game and will use my Smart Card instead of using a paper fare card to board the train.
How have you saved the world today? Remember how much little changes in your life can make a huge difference!

You are doing very well! I haven't done much today yet, but I do the reusable grocery bags, napkins, and such like that.
I telecommuted today so saved 92 miles of gas. Woohoo!
Good for you!! Sorry I'm late responding, but it's commendable that you are doing so many good things. Let's see... I telecommute some days to save driving distance. And I ask for plastic at the grocery store, because then I re-use them as poop bags for the dogs, instead of buying new poop bags from the store. I only run water the very minimum I need to and I never leave it running for any reason.
