answer:I recycle everything, even down to removing the small glassine covers on paper envelops before I put the envelop in the paper recycling bin. I compost everything possible; since I eat no animal products, that simplifies that. I buy many of my daily grind clothes from the Second-hand Rose shop in town. I throw the dirty cat litter into the woods where, I would guess, some animals recycle that as well. I am torn about buying a new car with better emission quality and gas mileage; my car has only 30,000 miles so will compromise for a few more years. I rarely joyride and piggyback errands. I take books, CDs, and DVDs out of the library rather than purcharsing them. When I do buy books, I get them used online…bad for our lovely little local book store, but again another compromise.
