Like many women, I change my purse pretty often. I stashed a reusable bag in each of my purses so I always have one with me. I haven't paid for a plastic bag in over a year!

I would like one of these Envirosax pouchs. It would be so much simpler to be able to put one right in my purse. I'm always leaving the cloth bags in the car..

A cup of vinegar in my laundry rinse water keeps my clothes and towels from becoming "crunchy" when I hang them outside to dry. It also helps remove odours. I'm a huge fan of vinegar for many cleaning projects!

I use Norwex cloths to clean my house; the harshest thing I now use to clean is vinegar! The cloths trap all bacteria and kill the bacteria in the cloth with embedded silver (and no, I don't sell Norwex!).

One of the easiest, and most effective, changes we've made is to twist off light bulbs throughout our home. For example, 10 bulbs in the bathroom really aren't necessary ... so we've twisted off all but two. The overhead fan has three bulbs ... we've twisted off one in the living room and two in the bedrooms. It's an easy change and has saved us money while conserving energy!

We use soap nuts/ berries. These little guys are amazing, crack open 5 or 6 nuts and place them in a muslin bag. Through them in your laundry, your clothes will come out nice a clean and fresh. Five nuts will do 4 to 5 loads. Boil about 15 nuts in 6 cups of water and make a household cleaner. It cleans everything from your bathroom, kitchen, your hair and even jewelry. I can't say enough about how great these are.

Instead of buying the individual size yogurts for my son's lunch, I buy a large container of yogurt, use reusable containers (like the Kids Konserve stainless steel containers)and put individual portions in those each day. Not only do you end up using/recycling less plastic but you can cut out a lot of sugar by buying plain yogurt and then just adding fruit yourself! Also, to get a bit more use out of the yogurt container before recycling it, I use it to store my clothespins outside so they are clean and dry for laundry day. They also make great arts and crafts materials for the kids!
