    My family gets creative with leftover meals several times a week as well as having one “no-cook” meal a wweek. It saves on energy, time and money, as well as eliminates the waste of food.

    Get the kids to recycle their juice boxes at school. It is amazing how many can be saved each week!

    My favorite tip is just to look for a way to make do with something that makes less of an impact – really consider each thing I use or buy and ask if I could do it a better way.

    Buying a water faucet filter was the best thing i could have done. I now longer need to buy plastic water bottles. saves ALOT of money too. I am a water freak…thats all i really drink so this would be an awsome win.

    Give your kids baths in the same bath water, at the same time to save water! Save the earth!

    grow your own veggies….even if you dont have a lot of land…you can grow maters in pots on a terrace or patio. I have a little patch of land that i grow maters, cucumbers, onions, lettuce, squash, spices, peppers and this year i may try to grow a couple stalks of corn..not sure yet but may try. Worth a shot. This year i am also putting sunflowers in around parts of the house intead of the traditional flowers that only last the summer. this way we get the seeds and can have a blast teaching the kids about all the veggies and sunflowers. Also for produce we cant grow I plan on going to our weekly farmers market on Tuesdays to buy all my produce. Getting back to the basics and having so much fun teaching the kids as well.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win this great prize.

    I have been saving my 1/2 gallon milk jugs for a few weeks. I cut them off and use them to grow my plants in that I started from seed. I have tomato plants that will be ready to move to my organic garden as soon as the weather is right. (I can also use the cut-off tops as funnels)

    i typed a long entry but got a 408 error and think it was lost and now the kids are up…ack…so in short we plan to grow our veggies like maters, cucumbers, onions, lettuce, peppers, spices, mint, possibly corn (fingers crossed..this one is new for me), squash, pumpkins etc…and plant sunflowers instead of the ones that only last the summer. We are also only going to buy our produce from the once a week farmers market they have in town. We are going to have a blast this summer with the kids and teaching this year. We dont have a lot of land, but you dont need a lot of land..a few plants here and there, a few pots here and there, a little water and a lot of love is all you need!

    thanks for the chanceto win this great giveaway!

    I bathe my toddlers at the same time to conserve water, I use canvas reusable shopping bags, I use cold water for my laundry, I use glasses to drink my filtered water from not bottles. I have wanted a New Brita pitcher for a while, my parents had one when lived at home. Thank you

    I’m all about the cloth diapers! These days they’re just so easy.

    I also reuse plastic bags, etc.

  27. Nancy

    The whole recycle concept isn’t very big here in Nevada so when I teach my coupon classes I also teach people how they can recycle their papers.

  28. Madeleine Kolar

    I use used dryer softener sheets, rewet them and clean bathroom fixtures. Leave them dry and dust woodwork. Don’t clean floor with them as they will become slippery. I got conused and left this hint on Walmarts page. I don’t know how to twitter. Hope I put this in the right place.

    We try to be GREEN whenever possible. We do the reuseable totes, reuse printer paper on both sides for directions and coupon printing, we have 2 rain barrels to collect rain water to water the garden, open the blinds in the winter to help warm the house, take old socks to make into wrags, run appliances such as washer at night to use less energy, use washable containers instead of throwaways, buy in quantity and divy up into snackable portions, use CFL bulbs, etc.
