I love the compost-in-the-freezer idea! We don't compost, but I want to. I haven't figured out how to do it in an apartment though...

Also, I want to use cloth instead of napkins, but all of my kitchen washcloths get stained! I don't have a washer, so they only get washed once a week. Do you have any tips for keeping them clean?

Great post. Love what you are doing. Seems like we are doing lots of the same things. We use cloth everything; I've done a post http://www.nzecochick.com/2011/06/oh-cloth-how-i-love-thee.html
Some thigns which you are doing too. So great that there are other people out there doing their bit! Keep up the greta work.

Love these ideas! As a dog owner in an apartment, I've started asking family members and coworkers for their plastic bags (since we use reusables for groceries) and I use them to scoop up poop. It is such a waste to buy bags to scoop poop up.

Consider giving your bags to a friend with a dog in an apartment, or see if a local dog park could use them.

Thanks for the tip about junk mail! I never knew you could actually unsubscribe to those things! :)

And I've totally been using cloth napkins for everything. I started doing it mainly because I've been too lazy to go to the store to get paper napkins, but you've totally encouraged me to just keep at it. I'd really like to phase out the paper towels too.

All wonderful ways to lessen your impact. I can't wait until we sell our condo and buy a house, so we can start collecting rain water!

I do all those things except the rain barrel...and our neighbors are planning to get one for our row of houses! (All our roofs drain into one downspout.)

One of my big environmental and money savers is reusable feminine hygiene products. They are more comfortable and better for your health, too!

I'm definitely going to be line drying more. I love how all these things are green and $ savers!

Sara Cart - online bill paying is a good change. You can reduce the amount of paper that you get in the mail and not pay for postage.

Thanks for the comment.

I actually pay my bills on-line instead of receiving the paper in the mail and then sending out a check. This is great for keeping my check book balanced. I also make sure that none of the payments are automatic. The automatic payments tend to keep going even after you have paid off the bill or stopped using the service.

I've always wanted to try composting and bought some cloth napkins the other day. Thanks for the tips!

Great ideas! I agree on not composting weeds, they say you can if they haven't gone to seed, but I disagree. Learned that one the hard way too.

Hi there! I am dropping in from Frugal Friday.

Stop by and see me when you get a chance over at Free 2 Be Frugal.

I do LOTS of things to stretch my dollars just like you! It's so nice to see what other people do to save money and such.

Great ideas! I have been using towels instead of paper towels, but I never thought of replacing paper napkins with real napkins. DUH! Thanks for the tip!
