Tip of the day to help save the earth! 3/29/08

 This is a great one that is so easy, and will save you $$ Also! 

Use permanent silverware and dishes instead of paper ones. Not only will you save the earth, you'll save money! Why use disposable plastic silverware when you can buy regular ones? The last thing we need is extra garbage in landfills, and this is a great way to cut down on some of it. Use permanent kitchenware unless you absolutely have to use disposable stuff!  Also - When you're washing, make sure to think about conserving water!  A water and energy-efficient dishwasher is more efficient than hand-washing, as long as you're doing a full load!

I do this one as much as possible.  Only if I am in desperate need do I use paper or plastic.

I am with you!  I never throw more than I have to in the landfill.  I can't even remember the last time I used a paper dish.
