Instead of bottled water, I drink filtered tap water and carry it around in a refillable Nalgene bottle.
When I go shopping, I bring my own reusable nylon bag.
I compost and recycle.
I reuse bags that I get from stores. If it's plastic, I line the trash can with it. With paper bags, I reuse them to give gifts.
Instead of wrapping presents in giftwrap paper, I make my own with pages from magazines.
I buy in bulk and it cuts down on waste. Example: I buy the largest size of Softsoap hand soap that I can find and I refill a reusable soap dispenser with it instead of buying a new ready to use size every time I run out.
I use rechargeable batteries.
I never use air conditioning or the heater.
I walk to school and take public transportation.
Carpool
Energy saving lightbulbs
I handwash dishes instead of using a dishwasher.
I wait for a full load of laundry and do it once a week.
I try to eat organic.
That's all I can think of for myself. What do you ladies do?
