		<description>Seemed to work very well.  No junk mail since putting up a sign.  Probably cut the amount of mail we get by 80%.</description>

		<description>I put up a no junk mail sign.  I&#039;ll see if that works.  I&#039;ll be quite happy if it does both from the tree saving perspective and annoyance of having 80%+ of my mail being junk perspective.</description>

		<description>Good stuff, Herb! 

I&#039;ve been thinking about eating less meat in general, too, though what you&#039;ve mentioned is another great reason to do so.

They do have toilet flaps that put less water in the bowl, so you may want to look into those -- no new toilet required.

You can recycle 80% of what you buy? That&#039;s impressive. I&#039;m sure I can improve on buying more goods that are recyclable.</description>

		<description>Oh..well done Chris!!

Here is how I&#039;m doing things to help out with the planet.
1. I don&#039;t own a car.
2. I take mass transit when I have to.
3. I walk a lot.  I walk from the house to transit and then from transit to work and then out to do groceries on the weekend.
4. I use energy efficient appliances.  I also use cold water as much as possible in the washing machine and now I&#039;ll be using the clothesline instead of the dryer more often.
5. I recycle about 80% of my stuff.  
6. Compost.  Now with the garden, all the food waste will come in handy!

Room for improvement:
1. low-flow toilets.  I have the standard kind and I know I should use less water.
2. better insulation in the house.  I know I can lower my energy bills just with a little more insulation.
3. less meats and more veggies.  we eat in a lot and I take lunches at lot.  still, the energy it takes to make meat vs. energy to make veggies makes going more vegetarian more sensisble.  I don&#039;t think I&#039;d be a full out vegetarian but definitely reduce the meat consumption by a third.</description>
