This year's Blog Action Day has an Environmental theme. So here are some ways I thought of to be more environmentally friendly in your everyday life:
Take the extra few minutes to dine-in instead of taking your fast food to go. It really doesn't take that long to eat, and you'll be saving all sorts of paper, and packing materials.
Use reusable shopping bags, or reuse your old bags before recycling. Okay, this is a huge thing with me. (Prompting my sister to say to me once, "What, you're anti-bag now?") Think about it. You buy something. It goes into a plastic bag, just for the three minutes it takes you to walk to your car, and then the two minutes it takes you to unload it from your car. And how often do you get a bag for one or two items, that could just as easily be carried?
Eat fresh foods as much as possible. There is far less processing and packaging involved with them, which results in less waste all around. (And you'll have more energy too :-)
Take a few minutes to find out the recycling rules for the program in your neighborhood. Maybe you could be recycling more everyday.
Take a few minutes to find out the recycling rules for the program at your job. Maybe you could be recycling more everyday.
Carry a reusable coffee mug or thermos for use at coffee shops everywhere.
Carry a reusable water bottle.

I love this post. I try to be as environmentally conscious as I can, though I'm not perfect at it. :) I will add some of these to my list.
