1)Take newspapers, magazines, aluminum cans, etc to the recycling place.
2) We do not purchase liters of soda anymore
3) We do not purchase bottled water for use at home....use a Brita instead. I do keep a case of bottled water in my classroom for my use 'cause I don't care for the taste of the school's water.
4) We compost.
5) I take the reusable shopping bags to the grocery store.
I do not purchase food items that say 'organic'...they are more expensive and not worth it to me.
