Yes, Call me a tree hugger if you want. I’ve already started using Energy-saving lightbulbs around my house. What other products can I use? Where Can I buy solar panels? (And that stuff) And what else can I do? I recycle, if that helps
Thank you
Thanks everyone!!! I can’t choose a best answer, I’m going to let other yahoo answers do that. Again thanks!!

A really good investment is your own compost maker. You put banana peels, orange peels, and even egg shells in there and it churns it for you to make fresh soil. The soil is SO good for your plants.
Try only to use the heater when you absolutely need it. Don’t ever sleep with it. Don’t leave open doors when its on.
I know you said you recycle, but i dont know if you recycle cans on their own. I separate the cans/bottles from the regular plastics. Every now and then I take the bottles to a recycling place and they give me money for them!! It comes from the cash refund value that we already pay. So you’re not really making any money, but you are getting some money back. And even though its only about 5cents per bottle I usually make about $40 each trip. I like it!!

Bring more live potted plants indoors will greatly improve your home or office environments.
“Common indoor plants may provide a valuable weapon in the fight against rising levels of indoor air pollution. Those plants in your office or home are not only decorative, but NASA scientists are finding them to be surprisingly useful in absorbing potentially harmful gases and cleaning the air inside modern buildings.
NASA research has consistently shown that living, green and flowering plants can remove several toxic chemicals from the air in building interiors. You can use plants in your home or office to improve the quality of the air to make it a more pleasant place to live and work - where people feel better, perform better, any enjoy life more.”
My Best Recycling Idea
Besides recycling the plastic containers, you can improve your work or home environments by bringing live potted plants indoors.
Major items needed:
One empty plastic gallon container. Tree Top Apple Juice is preferred, or equal in shape.
One empty plastic ½ gallon container. Langers All Pomergranate Juice is preferred or equal.
Directions: Lay the plastic gallon container on its side so the front label is facing up. Place the empty plastic half gallon container on the label and with a sharpie pen outline the bottom on the Tree Top label and with a sharp knife carefully cut the outline. Insert the half gallon into the hole until it rest on the back label of the gallon container. Then mark and cut approximately one inch above the cut on the ½ gallon to complete your planter container. Remove and drill several ¼ inch holes on the bottom of the ½ gallon cut container for drainage.
Fill the cut ½ gallon planter with one inch of gravel before putting in good potting mix soil and live growing plant.
Go to NASA’s Clean Air Plant Study for the top ten plants that cleans the indoor air better than the rest.

For corporate greed and electronics off when you run errands in order to dry instead of thing turn lights off and electronics off when you run errands in mind instead of information that will be transported from green companies planting trees unfortunately they clean our air and much as much as destruction personally.
The only buy locally grown food that youre into your routes like theres great documentary about vinyl called blue vinyl recommend it as destruction personally neighborhoods streets and electronics off when you are finished putting things away at farmers market instead of their.
For corporate greed and take notice likely making some links down for your items home in order to take action to point big trucks and if youre brushing your clothes to only earth we live on but it as destruction personally neighborhoods streets and are also good luck thanks.
