I read about your blog on Nickels n Dimes–great giveaway. How I'm green: Instead of just recycle, I try to re-use first. Using tin cans as planters and I've been experimenting with fusing plastic shopping bags.
What I do to be green.. I actually save the Stoneyfield's Yogurt containers that my DH eats every morning for Terracycle and when I get 60 of them (about 2 months worth) I turn them into my local Walgreens who is a Terracycle drop off.
You have my email 🙂
I have stopped using plastic bags and I recycle.
Thank you!

Great giveaway. How I'm green: just a concentrated effort of the 3R's and teaching the same to my family. I've drastically reduced the amount of plastic bags used.

We recycle everything we can here in North Idaho and then drive the rest over to Washington! We also try and buy everything we can that is recycled. We use energy efficient bulbs. We have five kids and one is my hippy earth child she keeps us on our toes! Thanks for the chance what a great giveaway.
Our e-mail address is : mcbeaton5@yahoo.com
We recycle everything we can, we even had to end up calling the recycling company to get more bins because we were recycling so much!
I'm not using plastic bags. I use paper bags every time. I segregate my garbages as recyclable and non recyclable.
Cool bag and great concept. Our way of being green around our household is to reuse bags, compost all biodegradeable stuff, and to donate more reusable stuff to charities.
This is my new collectible…recyclable bags. I love doing something good for the enviroment while also satifying my collecting bug. Good luck with your new blog
i currently use reusable bags when i go shopping. I found you through nickels and dimes.
I go green by using small platic ziploc containers to pack fresh fruit for my families lunches.

Great blog! In our house, we no longer use plastic or paper bags at the grocery store. Instead, we have a bunch of old totebags that I picked up at the thrift store for 10 cents each. I keep those in the car so I don't forget them for grocery shopping and errands.

I no longer use plastic bags when I go grocery shopping. Any plastic bags I do end up with (sometimes I forget my bags when I go to craft stores, etc), I use as bathroom garbage liners. They fit perfectly into the small trash cans.

I found your website thru Nickel & Dimes, good luck with your new blog! I'm going to subscribe to it. How I'm green—I would say that I've been green for a long time, and I'm finally getting my family and friends in on it! My children (5 & 2) will even tell someone that they should recycle something instead of just throwing it away! lol! We recycle everything that we can, make our own compost for our flower beds and garden, and here recently starting collecting rain water to water the beds and garden. Also, I'm implemented a recycling area at my work to recycle soda cans, and any paper that we don't have to shred for privacy purposes.
My email address is mhwoolly@yahoo.com.
I love Terracycle! That is one way that we are green, we recycle our juice pouches. my son would love to have a bag made out of juice pouches!
Hi ~
Just found out about your blog through nickels and dimes! Can't wait to check it out! There are several things I do. 3 Rs, use reusable bags when shopping, use cloth napkins more frequently and to save on energy costs and having to replace my roof every 30 yrs, we just had a metal roof put on our home. Love it! I would love to have this bag – very cute!
Thanks for all you do to help us save money!

We do a lot to be "green".
One thing is I ALWAYS use reusable shopping bags, I even bought net ones for produce.
We also recycle as much as we can and for a family of 6 have less than one trash can of garbage a week, but our recycle bin is always overflowing!!
We also collect and recycle paper and put it in the dumpster at the school and they get money for every ton collected.
I am also in charge of the PTA's Terracycle account and we collect everything they allow, we do the best with the juice pouches.
Lrimerman@comcast.net
I recycle our newspapers by dumping them in the bin at my son's school as they receive money for it. Additionally we reuse plastic bags here instead of throwing them away.

What a cool giveaway!
My favorite way to be green is to recycle my kids school papers — not in the recycling bin, but in my printer. I love to print my coupons, grocery lists, coloring pages on the back of the older kid's school papers. It's fun to go to the store and have a kid have a great memory of class because it's on the back of the grocery list.
Thanks for offering this contest. Hope we win.
I've been trying to buy more environ. friendly cleaners.

I have made my business green. My new 'green' thing to do this year was to switch to using greener shades dyes… dyes with no heavy metals, for all of my yarns.
I have recycled all plastic food bags to the grocery store and we bought enough cloth bags to keep 4 in both cars, 2 on our bikes and gave 20 to the local food bank so that their clients could recycle as well. Now we won't forget them when we go shopping, or to the library etc.
I try to recycle everything!! Reuse what I can. Really try to keep unnecessary things out of the landfill

We are being green by, shopping in season, for local produce and food when possible. We recycle, and use products that are earth friendly as often as we can. My favorite ways to be green are to reduce reuse and recycle.

This is a great site! I am new to you as well! In my house we are big into reusing items. We go through 6+ gallons of milk a week so we cut and reuse the milk cartons and the kids plant vegetable seeds. They love the fresh herbs and veggies and they love to tell people they're recycling AND reusing!
Thanks again!

I love Terracycle! I am doing a couple of things to be "green"… I use my reusable shopping bags at the supermarket, we no longer use paper plates, or drink bottled water. The plastic bottles we do have (gatorade), I have been saving to use as storage for small items (buttons, beads, pencils, crayons, etc.). I also have a small garden in the backyard. 🙂
I am a bag junkie… so I really love all of their bags. But I would probably use any of the gardening stuff too! 🙂

We recycle as much as we can with a great curbside pickup program. I also buy all kid stuff used (and get many handmedowns from friends), and I give away or sell the stuff my daughter no longer uses. I buy my own clothes (except underwear and shoes) at thrift stores as well.
Thanks!!

Thanks!
Pretty cool that the company was founded by Princeton students who had the courage to turn down $1 million in seed capital because they didn't like the way the company was going to force them to go. That's pretty great integrity …
Thanks!
I'm also now following you!
We re-use everything we can. I'm one of those crazy ladies that washes out zip lock bags and reuses them.

I use reusable bags at the grocery store so they don't have to pack my groceries in the plastic bags.
I was amazed by all of the product wrappers that Terracycle reuses.
I don't buy anything with excess packaging, and never buy paper napkins, paper plates, or paper towels any more.

Nice to see a lot of people using re-usable bags for groceries. H
ere in Seattle, we just banned styrofoam and are voting in August to pass a $.20 fee on all plastic AND paper bags at groceries, that will go toward recycling programs and education or back to the store if it's a small store. Let's hope it passes!

I'm actually slightly embarassed about this one, but I clean out ziploc bags and re-use them. I buy the freezer ones when I have to because you can get more uses out of them.
Thanks

Great giveaway. My 11 year old daughter's fave t-shirt is her reduce-reuse-recycle shirt! This bag is just MADE for her and I would love to win it for her. She not only reuses but she regularly 'goes thru the trash' at the public pool/sports places, etc to collect bottles and cans to take home and recycle! She is going to suggest TERRACYCLING to her 6th grade Montessori class as a fun fundraiser for the school!! Thanks and go Terracycle!! We use Laptop lunch (no trash lunch), reuse ziplocs, use pretty kitchen towels to wrap gifts….etc,etc
