Living sustainably

Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?

Personally, I don’t put in a lot of conscious effort into “sustainable living”, and maybe I could do more, but there are a few things I do habitually that likely fit the bill.

I’ve had the same metal water bottle for almost five years now and it goes with me everywhere. I use it everyday so that I don’t have to use too many cups or other drinking containers, at least when it comes to plain water.

I do try to be a little more aware of what I’m recycling, like making sure I’m not putting greasy cardboard in the bins.

I’ve also been trying to minimize my driving, but that’s moreso because of time consumption and not environmental resources/pollution. My car gets great gas mileage, so in the event I do have to travel a lot (like my recent trip back to Colorado, I hit an average between 40 and 50 miles per gallon) I can fill up less and therefore sort of pollute less.

Outside of those things, I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head that qualifies, but I know I could do more.
