Happy Earth Day! I could list 1008 ways you can live more sustainably but I'm going to stick with a few that come up with great frequency and are VERY EASY to get rollin' with!
1. Bring your own coffee mug! If you do forget it, at least don't take a plastic lid.
2. Bring your own water bottle everywhere so you never need a plastic cup. I like glass bottles best. http://www.lifefactory.com/ or http://www.mybkr.com/
3. Bring bamboo utensils so you don't need to use "disposable" utensils when you take out. If you don't have a purse, the spork fits right in your pocket! http://www.to-goware.com/ http://www.bambuhome.com/
4. Just say no to plastic grocery bags every time. ChicoBags are easy to stuff into just about anything so you never forget. http://www.chicobag.com/
5. STOP USING DRINKING STRAWS! Totally unnecessary unless you have your jaw wired shut (then use bamboo or steel). When ordering a drink including water at a restaurant, be sure to say "no straw please" since many still give them out even if you don't ask for one.
I could give you all the eco-tips in the world but the very best way to change your relationship with our great Mother is to GET OUTSIDE and love her more!
