I have found myself in a more sustainable state of mind lately,
and it was that new train of thought which lead me to the theme of this giveaway.
I've been contemplating the different ways I can seamlessly incorporate better choices into
my daily life, which is where I thought you guys would come in handy - more ideas!
Not all changes have to be life altering to have an impact, every little bit helps, and I bet that
you all are just chock full of ideas that I have yet to fathom.
That being said, here's what you could win:

5 Things I do that I consider to be ec0-friendly:
- I filter my own water and refill a reusable bottle to eliminate my water bottle waste.
-We have replaced all of our bulbs with CFL's (compact florescent bulbs).
-Reduce water usage by taking no more than 3 showers a week (it's not really a sacrifice for me).
-Of course we recycle paper, plastic (#1 & 2), and glass.
-I hang dry the majority of my clothes to cut back on energy used by the dryer. It also keeps them intact longer.

5 Things I don't do, but could easily start doing:
-Composting. The bulk of our trash (which consists of very little - 1 bag every two weeks) comes from organic waste, which could be reduced even further by composting.
-Take one of our own containers to restaurants for left overs instead of their disposable option.
-Get our toilet leak fixed.
-Find better alternatives to household cleaning chemicals.
-Reduce plastic waste even further, by buying less items that come in containers.
