I use cloth bags for grocery shopping. We use unpaper towels for cleaning around the house, and cloth diaper and cloth wipes. I use a German style mop, where there is a mop rag, and a microfiber type rag that you put on the mop to use it, and then wash it afterward. I use a mixture of water and vinegar to mop with.
I use goatsmilk laundry soap that my friend made. We recycle, and when the weather is warm (not 20 degrees like it has been) I hand the laundry out on the clothes line. In our house, all but 4 bulbs are energy savers, and in the house we rent, every time a bulb blows, we replace it with an energy saver (which we plan to take with us).
I also use mama cloth and absolutely love them (no more rash when af visits). We use the energy saving setting on our dishwasher.
We give Christmas presents, and pretty much any other present in a reusable bag, sometimes a Chico, so no paper goes to waste. In the summer time, I shop the farmers market for fresh, locally grown produce.
