Here are some of the things I have done in the last 6 months to go green:

• I don't bag milk, bottled juice or other larger items when shopping at the grocery store.
• As a department at work, we have a recycle bin where we put paper items that are not confidential that can be recycled. The department housekeeper then collects the items and puts them in a bin to be taken to a recycling center. I have been putting a lot of paper and cardboard items in this bin that I previously put in the one that the company pays a lot of money to have recycled, which I still use for confidential information.
• I pack my lunch in a reusable container.
• I donate used clothing that no longer fits and other items no longer needed to charity.
• I recycle my newspapers and phone books.
