You Make Every Day Earth Day, But How Do You Do It?

The internet is full of ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle, but we at Patch are wondering what tips and tricks people in the South End actually use.

One hundred different ways to conserve water are listed on this website

The WorldWatch Institute's "10 Ways To Go Green And Save Green" list actually contains over thirty tips.  

There's even a site, "50 Ways To Help The Planet," which is just that list and nothing more.

Everyone knows, though, that just because something is on a list doesn't mean it will get done.  At South End Patch we're interested in the things our readers actually do, and not just what other people suggest to them.

You may not a have a roof to catch extra rainwater or a car to carpool with, but do you make sure to turn off the lights whenever you leave the room?  Do you bring your own bags to the grocery store, even if sometimes you have to carry home extra groceries in their paper and plastic?  Is your workplace trying to cut down on its paper use?
