A while back, I agreed to particpate in Blog Action Day, a movement to get everyone thinking about the environment.

One of my favorite ways to save the planet is to reduce usage of paper. It’s easy to do! The first step I took was to get myself off the mailing lists by going to Optout Prescreen to stop getting credit card offers in the mail, and then I did all of the forms at CDT.org. These two things practically eliminated all of our junk mail. And the junk mail we do get goes into the recycle bin rather than the trash. Perhaps these things can leave more trees for hugging! And that’s always good.

Do you have any favorite ways to save the planet? We would love to hear about them in the comments.
