I think when you break it down into easy-to-follow suggestions like this more people see that they really can make changes. Another small change that has a big impact is right in our mailboxes - those catalogs that come in the mail. Instead of just tossing them into the recycle bin, stop them altogether. If you request to be removed from their mailing list they're required to oblige, but there is one company out there that makes it super easy - Catalog Choice - I'm a big supporter of theirs and use them myself. You can also opt-out of a lot of other unwanted mail by going to dmachoice.org. By stopping the flood of paper that hits our mailboxes we can all make a really huge difference in the amount of trees cut down every year to create junk we don't want. Great article!

As an expansion to tip #4, I'd recommend buying a kick-ass coffee travel mug. I have one that looks cool, feels great to drink from, and is easy to carry. With a great mug, you'll always remember to grab it on your way out the door. Great suggestions, Julie! As an expansion to tip #4, I’d recommend buying a kick-ass coffee travel mug.
