This is a green challenge that Oprah suggested. I know I don't miss paper towels, but no iPod?
Adapted from Oprah.com:
· Eat at home every meal. No more eating out, no more takeout. And you have to eat your leftovers.
· Give up the bottled water habit.
· No more disposable plates, cups, napkins or paper towels. Try cloth—you might like it!
· Give up your iPods and video games, and your computers only get turned on for homework. TV is limited to one hour per night—one TV only.
· In winter set your thermostat at 69 degrees. Make that 78 degrees in summer.
· Wash only clothes that are TRULY dirty.
· When you leave a room, lights out. Ditto for fans. When you're done using an appliance, unplug it. Don't forget your computer and cell phone chargers too.
· Limit showers to eight minutes.
· No clothes shopping.
· No buying anything other than food for seven days.
