Thank you for all the tips. I was especially happy to find the tutorial on making cloth napkins — something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. If you don’t mind, I’d like to add columnist Tom Friedman’s advice. He wrote that, in addition to changing our light bulbs, we should change our leaders — in other words, vote for representatives committed to green energy and a green economy. I agree!

Great list! Since it has started to get warm here, I've also been opening the windows and turning on ceiling fans instead of running the air conditioner. By doing this, I've been able to completely turn off the unit during the day. I could really tell a major difference in my electric bill last month because of doing this.

Excellent list. I’ve got a guest post up at Get Rich Slowly today that discusses the same topic, but with a slightly different spin. http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2009/04/22/saving-money-and-the-environment-where-green-and-frugal-meet/

I’m going to add this post to my Earth Week round-up list. Nice work.

Here in PA, using re-usable grocery bags DOES save you money. Most of my local grocery stores credit you $0.03 for every bag you provide, whether it’s a cloth bag or a previously used paper or plastic grocery bag. It’s not much, but on average saves me about $0.60 a week. Add to that the fact that those plastic grocery bags are no longer secretly multiplying in my cabinets and plotting to take over my house, and it’s good enough for me
