what do you do for the environment? I know people that jump in the shower, turn off the water, soap up, then rinse off again... constantly turning the water on and off to conserve it.

what do you do?

I recycle the water I boiled eggs in by transferring it to the plant can and adding more water. The calcium is GOOD for the plants.

Getting a little better at turning off lights when not in use; thing is, I dart in and out of rooms all day and night, so I'm not convinced that it's effective to constantly switch-on/switch-off.

I recycle paper-products, cans, metals, bottles, magazines, cardboard, and glass.

I can't make myself turn off the faucet while brushing my teeth because I simply cannot handle using cold water.

Though I have and do use re-usable bags, I still opt for plastic ones because I use them for many, many things. They are now banned in Oregon, so I'm collecting all that I can.
