Support the blue box program by using it and abiding by the rules. Kids on Halloween - paint an old pillowcase, collect the loot and make costumes out of old fabric scraps. Reuse old nylons in the bottom of flower pots for drainage. Use reusable plastic containers when you go on picnics or road trips and bring your garbage home for your composter or blue box. At the office, circulate memos instead of duplicating them.
Return produce baskets to the farmer's market.
Take time to eat in rather than take-out. Buy the item with the least packaging when choosing between two equally good products. Water your plants with leftover cold tea or coffee. Make Christmas cards out of a boxboard and colourful magazine pictures. It reduces waste and gives a much more personal touch to your season's greetings.
