See that countdown up there? It's ticking. Not just for the Back to School Thingy, but for, you know, actually getting the kids back to school.
Now, we all know the environment is a global concern these days, and that if something is not done soon, collectively and responsibly, the world will soon look like this. And me personally, I'm not one for environmental apocalypse. So, we all have to do our part!

Now, the good people at ReBinder know this. They're plugged in to the green nation. And they also know that you're sending kids back to school soon, and they'll use a lot of paper products. So, whaddaya know! They've decided to help you out.

I recycle cans and paper. I also buy as "things" from recycled products as possible.
The ways we help the environment are turn off unnecessary lights, watch our water usage, and "bundle" errands together for using the least amount of gas.

WE recycle and we even make sure we don't dispose of our light bulbs incorrectly..you have to be very careful with those
First we have been reducing our consumption and second we have been reusing things that we can or finding a different use for them, and then we have been recycling our waste or trying to up cycle it.

At my house,which is VERY active, I have 6 sons and a husband, who is a really BIG kid. We try different things to help the environment. We save all of our pop cans and when we have a car load or two, we bring them to the recycling center. The kids are able to see the recycling center, they are aware that they have done something good for the environment,they are allowed to see that there is a monetary value as well to recycling pop can. With that money, they are allowed a treat and then the rest goes toward our vacation later on in the year. We only go to places we can afford from our savings.
Over the last year, I've become increasingly diligent in my efforts to recycle, reuse and nurture nature. I don't throw jars away, I use the for storage. I don't throw old clothes away, I use them to make blankets and throws. I really cannot stand putting anything in the trash anymore!
I'm a blogger follower. That's me in lights up there. I kinda like talking to a brown couch.
We have a compost bin which not only has helped keep the garbage down, but also makes great fertilizer.

Oh this would be so wonderful! I'm starting at a new college this month and could use my fantastic freebies. I recycle and reuse everything I can. I also give away old clothes, books and general "stuff" instead of throwing it away. I try to unplug everything electrical when I'm not using it and I don't turn on lights during the daytime. I use reusable bags when shopping and I try to use environmentally friendly household products as much as I can.

I plant ten trees every year.
I've made an effort to unplug non-essential devices and appliances when not in use. I've also cut back on my water usage by taking shorter showers and running my washing machine and dishwasher on more efficient settings. And I've started walking and biking a lot more than I used to to cut back on my fuel usage. I hope all of these small measures add up to reduce the size of my carbon footprint.

Hey what a great giveaway. I am just recently starting helping. My daughter has been on me for quite a while about going green. I have bought the new light bulbs, I am looking for more stuff made from recycle products and I am making an effort to use less electricity. I still have a lot to learn and more to do but at least I am starting. lol
