Living Outside the Landfill

The Green Phone Booth is an environmental blog I like to follow. 

Their tagline is "Where Ordinary People Become Eco-Heroes."

One of their most recent articles this past week was entitled "82 Ways to Avoid the Landfill."  It's a great list of a lot of old, new, and possibly forgotten ways to reduce your planetary impact.  

My top 5 favorites from their amazingly thorough list:

• Give junk mail the boot.
• Push away from plastic plates & utensils & make the move to the "real" stuff.
• Take your own to-go containers for doggie-bag time when dining out.
• Push for plastic bag bans & take your own bags to the store
• Take dry cleaning hangers back to the dry cleaner!
