Green Victories

Well, we've come to the end of another month in 2008. I can't believe it. At the end of each month, I've been taking stock of what we've done to improve our imprint on the environment.
This month, we learned what can be recycled at our local landfill. While our volunteer F.D. is pretty picky about what they'll accept for recycling, the local dump station in town will take alumninum, plastic bottles and newspapers. My husband now combines his weekly trip to the bank and post office with a trip to the landfill where we can more easily recycle.
We are also on our way to breaking our dependence on paper towels and paper plates. In the past week, we've only used two paper plates. Paper towels are harder, that is such an ingrained habit.
What have you done in the past month to help the environment?
