For some people, the idea of going totally “green” seems overwhelming and inconvenient. But it shouldn’t be – there are lots of easy, simple things you can do to benefit the environment. One little thing I do is save all kinds of scraps of paper – envelopes I get in the mail, parking stubs, receipts, etc. I store them in a junk drawer at home and the center console in my car. Whenever I need to make a note, take down a phone number, or make a grocery list, I just grab one of these instead of wasting a whole new piece of paper. It’s a small thing, but hey, every little bit helps!
