  3. Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible..85%

  4. Along the lines of laundry, I hang up my clothes to dry. Call me old fashioned, but hey, it saves energy!

  5. I bought a case (12 bottles) of Sailor Jerry Rum.
    How is that green, you ask?
    I was able to eleminate 11 trips to the store, thus reducing my fuel consumption, and reducing my carbon foot print from emissions. ;)

  8. I'm not very green, except at work, so I'm not a part of this drawing. I just wanted to say again how unbelievably delicious Cafe Patachou is. I also heard the location in Broad Ripple (Petit Chou) is going to be opening for dinner soon too!

  15. We use reusable bottles for our filtered water instead of buying bottled water. It saves money and the environment!
