Our Reduce, Reuse, Recycle carnival continues to receive active participation from the blog community. Thanks everyone for contributing to this community-based conversation and sharing great personal experience and tips.
Beth from Fake Plastic Fish sent us recycling tips straight from a local recycling center. For example, one of the tips she gave is: Do not put loose plastic bags or any other kind of plastic sheeting in your recycling bin because they jams the sorter for hours!
Gal from 60in3 contemplated eating too much vs. wasting food.
Halloween is coming in three weeks. Tiffany from Nature Mom recommended better treats for kids from The Ginger People Ginger Chews to Endangered Species Chocolate Bars. Yum!
Silicon Valley Blogger from The Digerati Life mused on the benefit of borrowing, bartering, and buying used. She was impressed with the compactors, the freegans and Michael Porter who turned back on his former life as a stock broker.
Kevin from 21 century citizen suggested installing a low flow shower head. For $12.00 he found one that was supposed to save you 50-70% of your water usage.
One of our readers Regina purchased their household cleaners and body care products in concentrated formulas, so fewer bottles need to be used and thrown away.
Frugal Panda rated and recommended the best green cars for the price - gasoline-powered yet “green” vehicles that are all priced under $19,000. Number one on the list is 2007 Kia Rio SX (MSRP $13,495). It gets 32 miles per gallon in city driving and 35 in highway driving.
A big thanks to all the contributors and if you have other ideas to share, please let check out our 3R Blog Carnival for submission details for our next issue.
