Welcome to Gaia! ::

The only things i can think of im doing is
using the swirly light bulbs
buying recycled yarn
Recycling coke cans
that's all i can think of
is there anything else i can do to go green?
Edit: im going to plant flowers and plants
is there a soil i should use?

old furniture can be re-finished if you're looking to redecorate.

There's so much you can do.

- Compost. Food, or natural things in general (fruit peels, cores, egg shells, etc.) shouldn't be thrown in the garbage.
- Recycle everything you can, and reuse whatever you can, too.
- Try to limit the amount of waste plastic. Shop with tote bags, things like that.
- Try to get organic food, when you can (it's much better for soil preservation, lessens groundwater pollution, and is generally healthier).
- Buy second hand clothes, or clothes from alternative/organic fabrics. I've mentioned this a few times now. So much water and pesticides are used in growing conventional cotton.
- Eat less meat, or go vegetarian. This is huge. 80% of US agricultural land is used for feeding meat (livestock). It takes about 12,000 gallons of water to get a pound of beef. It takes 60 gallons to get a pound of potatoes. It's so incredibly unsustainable.
- If you can, try growing some of your own food, or just buy locally. So often this is better for limiting waste, as well as carbon emissions. It's also better economically.
