I purchased some grocery bags to use and after trying to remember them- I find I like them much better than the plastic bags. It's hard to get a paper bag (we need to put the newpapers in to recycle) for your groceries but I ask for 1 only when I'm ready to do the papers.
I switched to washing in cold water for everything and using the line to dry. Waiting to see if my little effort pays off on the electric bill.
Haven't purchased the "green" bags for storing fruit and veggies, the food doesn't stay long enough to begin with. :)
I don't think my driving has changed- we live in a rural area and have to travel. I've always consolidated trips- I make a list of what I have to do on the right side of the road and then the return trip, again on the right. Then I don't have to cross traffic. Once I go home, I don't usually go back out.
