Dishwasher all the way. I can't fathom how my handwashing would be more economical then my dishwasher. I put almost everything in except my pots and pans. Plus my husband is terrible at hand washin...

I do have some that were a gift, but I hate them and try not to use them. Besides I can still get food to stick to them. I am trying to replace them with just regular pans. I do love ...

Right now we are at 1 a week of trash, but its inflated because we just moved and I keep weeding out junk that has been accumulated.

The table with the red legs is actually ikea. They must have spray painted them red, but those legs are fun and cheap!

I love the 4 SUV's parked in a row. Two extremes living side by side.

supposedly Ace Hardware will recycle them. It was in an article about how to recycle misc. items.

I never use many electric powered kitchen tools not because of the green thing, but I was never raised knowing about them. we always mixed our doughs by hand with a big spoon. I also think they com...

You could see if your city has a recycling facility you can drop off your items at instead of putting them out for pickup. Also some of those centers take in more things then what can be picked up....

Waste Management has residential recycling where you don't have to sort it. On their website you can enter your zip code and find your local facility and if they offer that program. I'm sure you ca...

I think that your point is the tip of the iceberg. How many say that you can't plant certain plants? Can't have gardens? Have to always keep your yard pristine (=using way too much energy). Why own...

I think that the people using this site might also have a different perspective on things then the average re-modeler. There is a consciousness towards all things green and being efficient, whereas...

When I take a bath I put down the stopped before I start running the water. My theory is the cold water will turn warm when the warm water comes out. I also never use the produce bags...

I take the advice of what not to wear regarding cashmere. You really don't need to wash it as much as people think. As with wool, odors don't stay in the fibers, so air our the sweater between wear...

Geeka I'm with you. I live in Pittsburgh. I will bike for groceries, but I work outside of the city and it would take me about 3 hours to bike to work. I do carpool with my husband now that we work...

I usually do the same. If its something that I want for a little while I decide it isn't worth it. But if I want something really that I am replacing or feel I need, I usually get a second opinion ...

Thats a pretty good point. I know myself I don't have any of the plastic tote bags. I have made my own bags, or received canvas ones as gifts. But, yes the energy to make a bag is grea...

I can see some cracking in the vinyl, which makes it understandable to want to fix/change it. I would first try to reupholster it. There are a lot of sustainable vinyls out there that would really ...
