I am looking for simple and affordable ways to help going green?

Posted in Green Q&A | 22 comments

I have no recycling available in my area, and to drive that far would waste fuel.
These are two things I am doing that are easy.

Using clean and refillable water bottles, and buys by the gallon or more. No water bottles to trash.
Using shopping bags, I purchased two reusable bags for 99c each. Every time you use them you save 3c and no more plastic bags.

Give more ideas, please.
I live on a fixed income in rural Nevada, where recycling is neither required nor mandatory. I have a Safeway 15 miles away. Then the Wal-Mart is 75 miles away. Reno is 140 and Las Vegas is 300mi. So traveling doesn’t work for me. That is the price I pay to live a quiet live in the high dessert. So I need simple lifestyles changes to make differences for our planet.

I never recycle. I throw away paper, soda cans, water bottles, and batteries. I use disposable plates, cups, and silverware. When? I bake stuff in the over, I use these aluminum pans that is used just once and then you toss them in the trash. I hate washing dishes Sometimes I toss out 5 or 6 bags of trash a week. I don’t think that the trash I throw away is going to harm the environment.
