Jeff's growing (and occasionally original) list of simple ways to go greener Suggest others for my list by emailing me at dieffenbach @ alum.mit.edu

Decline the offer of a paper or plastic shopping bag. Turn off lights that aren't in use (an oldie but a goodie!). Recycle, and make it easier with paper-only bins throughout the house. Unplug electrical devices that don't need to be plugged in (get a "Kill A Watt" and some power strips). Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Call ahead to make sure that the store has what you are looking for. Walk or bicycle instead of driving. Have your Chevy Suburban finally give up the ghost. Convert paper bills to electronic and pay them online. Get diligent about stopping junk mail.
