I live in a condo complex with 58 units and we currently have high trash removal costs. I believe that we can reduce those costs by implementing a recyling program. I would appreciate some insight into getting a program up and running.

I would like to know how I can jump start being more eco friendly as a family. I am already known by friends and family as a “treehugger” because I make an effort to be environmentally friendly.
What I do so far is this- I use cloth grocery bags.
I recycle all plastic glass and metals.(we use cardboard and paper as firestarters in our firepit).
I have a compost bin in our yard so I don’t fill bags with compostable stuff.
We closely watch our heating and cooling settings.
We use biodegradable cat litter.
I use eco friendly cleaning products.
I walk everywhere in town I can walk.

Im 7 months pregnant, trying to figure out more ways to be eco friendly, how to have an eco friendly baby- I will be using reuseable diapers (www.gdiapers.com), making my own baby food, nursing not formula feeding, using natural baby products.
I am looking for more ideas on little things to do around the house to reuse, recycle, and be even more eco minded. Tips appreciated! On a small budget!

I really want to make a difference in helping our planet whether it be helping abused pets or global warming. I’ve already joined various organizations, donated, done at home things such as replacing lightbulbs and recycling. I’ve even written a letter to the president! Tips?

Magic 8 Ball: The Witch is In asked:


I have always wondered why he didn’t attempt to model something after (for example) what Germany has. They have different trucks come around for different ‘garbage’. Yellow is for regular recyclables; plastics and cans, brown is compost, black is rubbish, blue is for paper, and then there are separate things for glass and for batteries.

Why, instead of trying to ‘raise awareness’ for global warning, do we not just get a national recycling program and be done with it?

I have a friend who is in my Mafia in Mafia wars. We are at the same level. My energy takes 5 minutes to recycle. His only takes 3 minutes. Why the difference?
