Do you have a small idea to make this world Green? Mention if you already use it.

My big greening idea is really small. I want to help households in reducing its carbon footprint. Simply by using more efficient lighting, cooling and windows. Budget all of this from ones annual energy spend.

The small acts I use to have a greener presence is to recycle every scrap of paper, even envelops that come in post.

Plus, I never travel to a place if the work can be done over the internet, like banking / shopping / meetings.

Curious for more small ideas that can have a large impact.

Jun 3 2012: I try very hard to only use green cleaning products. For example, I only use laundry detergent that is EPA approved for the environment. Its a small change in my life and when we have a bunch of little changes we get to have a big change!
