We've been slowly but surely making our way through these kinds of green tips-- and a few years back it really did make a difference when our family started using the library for all books AS WELL AS magazines. When we're going on a vacation, we take out several magazines to take to the beach, etc. We've also become "unpluggers." I was not raised that way-- but now, if the microwave or toaster or whatever are not in use, they're not plugged in. It's really no inconvenience for us and we've seen our choices reflected in our electricity bill...thank goodness! Thanks for your comment- Dr. Robyn Hi Vicki!

I'd like to think I'm not that far off from a green-conscious parent. Still lots of work to do on my part...and I don't know if I'll ever get the compost thing down. Great tips!
