We recycle pop cans at my house. All the money goes to our church camp to provide scholarships for kids to attend.
I live in Portland, one of the greenest cities in America, so they had me recycling before I could walk. No, seriously, I do recycle a lot. I never throw paper away when I could easily place it in my recycling box.

I always always always recycle. Whenever I see my parents start to throw away a water bottle into the trash, I run to them and grab the bottle before it lands in the trash just so that I can recycle it x]

Another neat contest! Posted about this one on Win A Book, too.
We have been rabid recyclers for years! Probably longer than you have been alive! My father-in- law got us into recycling newspapers,glass, tin or aluminum cans back in the late 60's. It is still a habit. Even when my grandchildren were little they knew they should take care of the earth. One day my daughter was reading a biblical story to them and my grandson asked why God did such and such so my daughter told him because people had done some bad things. His 3 year old reply was " like hitting or pinching"? ( his idea of bad) and my 7 year old granddaughter just looked like that's not bad but maybe they were, gasp,. . . . ..littering? Aha, the ultimate sin! They learned at an early age from their mother's knee. Sniff, sigh, I am so proud of them! Sorry for the long windedness, we old people get like that sometime. Please enter me in the contest. florida982002[at]yahoo[dot] com

I'd love to win this package of books. Here's a few things we do: compost, recycle, buy in bulk rather than all those little packages, use reuseable shopping bags, wash laundry in cold water, turn off unnecessary lights, use a 'set-back' thermostat. In addition, we try to buy stuff produced locally. We are moving soon and plan to collect rain water at the new house.

I'm really excited that we finally have some recycling options in our small town. The town quite doing it several years ago to save money. So now I have to pay for my bi-weekly pick up, but I'm happy to do it. I love my recycling.
I recycle, reuse & repurpose! I also use canvas shopping bags when grocery shopping.

We try to be "earth friendly" every day! We have the new lightbulbs, we turn off lights when we don't need them on, we wash our clothes in cold water, we walk when we can, we use reuseable bags for all purchases (when we don't forget them in the car haha), we recycle every bit of paper, plastic and metal that can be recycled, we rarely turn on our heat. We are going to be going over to my parents and planting a garden for them and we try to buy local produce and meats.
Thanks for another great giveaway

Wow, you have such awesome giveaways through Hachette!
We reuse our paper grocery bags, launder most things in cold water, and unplug most things that aren't getting used during the day. I'd love to recycle more but there really isn't a way to do it around here that I know of. We do donate our gently used items to the Goodwill down the road.

Some of the things I do are recycle, separate compostable materials from garbage, try not to buy items with excessive packaging, turn off the lights when I leave a room and ask around if I'm about to get rid of something in case someone else could use it.
Whoaaa Look at all those comments! Your journal is on fire~~
We recycle here, bigtime. The funny thing is my daughters are the ones that are like Army captains about it.
I hope you're having a beautiful day

Oh, and you already know I follow (smile)
We recycle all that we can...cans, bottles, bags, food waste. We use solar power in the house when we can. We use CFL bulb to decrease power usage. We use cold water to wash our clothes and hang our clothes out to dry whenever possible. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products. We recycle car oil and oil filters after use. We feed the birds and raccoons in our neighbourhood. We give to charities that support wildlife in Canada. Not sure what else, but hopefully that's enough for now.

Well, I do lots of things to help the earth (she says with a self-congratulatory pat on the back), but the using of cloth diapers allows me to feel the most smug. I know,I know--there are two schools of thought on this...blah blah blah..but I am positive that this is the way to go...I have three kids currently in diapers, and I use ONLY cloth, as well as old rags for "wipes". I wash them only with cold water and eco-friendly detergent, and for those inclined to say "oooh, gross", let me just say that my kids have never had a diaper rash-HA!

I recyle plastic, paper, cardboard and glass. I just gave my old computer and some other electroics to the Humane Society. They are going to recyle the parts. I use my own tote bags at the store. I walk when I can and car pool whenever possible. I make sure the dishwasher is full before running it and I also only wash clothes when I have a full load. I give books and magazines to the hospital or the library. I've been a vegetarian for the last 12 years. Thank you for the chance to win these books!

we do many things to help heal the earth like using energy efficient bulbs, carrying our own reusable shopping bags, buying local produce/products wherever possible and electing to walk instead of drive whenever we can... but our biggest input was when we moved into our current house, we had a geothermal heat pump installed. geothermal power is cost effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly. now we're looking at switching to an eco-friendly tankless water heater...a friend has one and its amazing. oh and we also have energy star appliances.
Thank you for a great giveaway. I would love to win. We recycle everything we can and make sure lights are off. tHank you

Whenever I get a bottled beverage from the local pizza parlor that I almost always walk to, I carry the empty bottle out the door to where the recycling can is, and dispose of it there rather than inside where it would have no chance of being recycled. i have also taught my cub scout troop what is recyclable or not by taking them for a walk around the neighborhood, using gloves, and separating trash from recyclables. I even recycle the plastic milk rings and orange juice pop offs! I make my son use recycled paper for thank you notes & use recycled paper for several projects at my school.
I compost and garden, recycle, walk or bike instead of driving when possible, and buy less when I can.
I work at a LEED certified office, and recyle reuse anything I can. I used to compost organic goods, but since I moved to the city, I don't have a way to do that anymore. I also only walk or use public transportation.

Working in a retail environment, I always encourage my customers to use paper bags rather than plastic. I take my family's recycling to the recycling center whenever it fills up (usually once a month). We have two compost piles and a huge garden full of tomatoes, basil, blueberries, cotton, corn, peppers, onions, plenty of other foodages and lots of beautiful flowers. I'm hoping that everyone can pay extra special attention to this year's Earth Day because we're currently failing our survival test to see whether our species should be allowed to stay on our planet or not. And if we don't get our act together we really deserve nothing less than getting voted off the planet. So Drey, this month I continued following you in my RSS reader, blogged about both of your giveaways, and tweeted and facebooked them as well. Hopefully you'll get some more traffic from all the exposure! Keep up the great work.
We make all natural cleaner, use cold water to wash, have CFL light bulbs, a wind turbine and solar panels which augment our power usage, amongst others.
I recycle everthing I possibly can, even my ex-husbands.
As a family we recycle as much as possible - also use reusable water bottles, bags, and containers. My husband is also a stickler about shutting off lights!

I do as much as possible for a disabled senior citizen! We recycle everything possible and my husband takes it to a recycling center, have our own compost pile, grow our own veggies & fruit, make my own bread & feed the animals with the leftovers. I do the wash in cold water and hang the clothes to dry them. I only do full loads of wash and run the dishwasher when it's completely full. I stopped driving a few years back, so one less car on the road. We feed all sorts of critters and our property is a certified NWF habitat. We turn off lights that we're not using and keep the thermostat as low as possible without freezing the pipes. I'm sure I could think of more but that's all for now. Thank you for the chance to win!

When I forget to get my canvas bag from the closet before heading to the grocery store, I will get plastic bags at the supermarket, which I recycle several times over, use them for trash bags throughout the house, and will use them to pick up after my dog.
