In what practical way do you try to conserve the environment?

1 Answer

Answer :

We don’t run the water when brushing our teeth, we don’t always flush the toilet when we pee, we don’t buy a bunch of crap that we don’t need. We live relatively simply compared to a lot of other people, and try to go out of our way not to waste anything we have. We reuse as often as possible. We plant a garden. Probably a lot of other little things, as well. I wish I could say that we recycle, but we quit. It was a hassle to separate everything and then drop them off at two different locations whenever it was full. Curbside pickup would be pretty awesome.
