I’m a bit ashamed of using an electric clothes dryer (we have a big family, lots of laundry, and not a lot of sun), but I do use the condenser water for house plants..also have recently begun to go food shopping on foot in our local village stores instead of driving to the hypermarket(my cardiologist applauds), buying organic fruit and vegetables whenever possible, and none imported or out of season, eating meat only twice a week, using cloth tote bags,(free plastic bags no longer available here anyway) and am saving money as well(fewer consumer temptations)..Tho a fan of bottled water, have started drinking from the tap. Our town fortunately requires the recycling of paper, cardboard, plastic and glass which is collected once a week in front of our house. We compost organic waste at our country house in Britanny and will soon be doing it here at our main residence. Europe has begun a ban of incandescent light bulbs which will soon be no longer available, but questions remain about the recycling of the newer bulbs which contain poisonous matter… What I will not give up ? my laptop, cosmetics, books made from trees….
