I do some eco stuff that also equates to money saving.

I turn my heat down while I'm at work and when I go to bed. So really, there's only several hours that its turned up for

If I'm baking something in the oven I try to plan ahead of there's something I can cook ahead while the oven is hot. Like sweet potatoes. I won't turn on the oven just to bake one alone.
.I unplug any big plugs (cell phone, computer etc) when not in use. I also turn off the power strip that my TV is plugged into.

I shut off lights religiously. My gram had a lot to do with that
...it works. My electric bill before winter was always around $40.

My cell phone bill I cut from $50 to $40 by choosing a different plan. I could even go down to $30...but talk isn't unlimited.

I got rid of cable since its not only a money sucker but a time sucker. I'm reading a lot more now. But I do miss football

I used to always hang wash out, bit now that its winter I arrange a drying rack over a heating vent and my wash dries by morning. I figure what energy I do use should do double duty.

I got eco friendly bulbs in all my lamps and over heads. First thing I do when I move into a place actually....

I too filter my water. There's enough plastic in the world.

I always look for things on sale when I need them. Or free on Craigslist. Often just putting it into the universe yields you some good finds. That's how I got my composter.

I thrift shop for most things. Around here they support animal shelters and hospices. So my shopping dollars do good deeds too. And when I purge some stuff, they are the first ones I bring it to.

I'm thinking about asking my groomer to barter grooming for cleaning. Or making cookies for her clients. The four legged ones. Grooming costs a heap. My poodle needs it every few months...so. it would help. Bartering is a craigslist thing too. Never hurts to try.
