I think you should at to #9 on water and shower practices: Take a shorter shower or better yet, turn off the water while applying soap, it arguably gets in the way of a thorough application and it will save 60-90 seconds of hot water use.

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.
