Our #1 'green' change over the past 1.5 years has been switching to sustainable Tupperware products! By using reusable, lifetime guaranteed food-storage (sandwich keepers, freezer containers, etc.) we don't buy disposable sandwich bags, plastic wraps, freezer bags, etc. anymore!! We use the lifetime guaranteed Eco-friendly water & beverage items instead of the hundreds of disposable water bottles and juice boxes we used to throw away every month! It helps us to save money AND do our part to be as green as we can be! http://my.tupperware.com/jriedl

In order to deal with some cut backs in my budget I've been using http://www.ecofreek.com for finding all used stuff that normally I would have had to purchase. So next time you need something check ecofreek first and see if it is available to oyu. It has helped my family and I temendously.

I've discovered how to save a ton every month and over the long run, and become healthier by only using the cold cycles on my washer & dryer, quitting blow drying & flat ironing, and by taking cold showers, which are better for your skin & hair anyways. My bills are a third less than a few months ago.

I would take care of any A/C running with humidity control, because hanging those clothes indoors now will maybe reduce your electric bill for the dryer, but the A/C might need to work harder to remove the additional moisture that is added to the air in the form of wet clothes...
