make a smaller ecological footprint
Simple changes at first 6 months ago

I’ve committed to commuting by bike 2 – 3 times per week.
I’ve gotten a plot in my local community garden and I’m growing some veggies and herbs.
I remember to unplug or shut things off.
I bring my own containers and reuse them (coffee mug, travel mug, Tupperware/lunch/bento box, cloth shopping bags, etc.)
As my light bulbs died I replaced with CLF type bulbs.
I look around for other means to reduce my footprint. I track my progress via some websites in order to encourage other people that it can be done and not in some crazy, extremist way, but just simple practical changes. I’m on http://www.makemesustainable.com and also on the ZeroFootPrint site as well.

Thanks!

I’ll take all the positive feedback I can get, especially given how hostile massachusetts drivers are around bicyclists. exasperated sigh But you’re right – simple changes can make a big difference, so that’s why I figured I’d post my changes and make them visible that I’m “walking the talk” :)
thanks!
