I'm a friend of public transit and walking. I recycle, compost, have a low-flow toilet and a clothes rack. That's about it. One thing that I am trying to do is having shorter showers that aren't so hot. Very rarely am I dirty enough to need 150 litres of piping hot water to get me clean. But I am dirty so I like some time in there.
Speaking of, I was at "A&P Recycling" byt the farmer's market/Currie Barracks the other day. Holy crap. It's a big warehouse full of retrieved recyclables and there are a lot of them. There was a mountain two stories high of plastic bags full of plastic bags. To think that 95% of our stuff goes to a landfill, and that place didn't represent even 1% of it I'm sure. It's ridiculous.
