If you have hens or hamsters or gerbils, you can use shredded paper for their bedding & then compost it, sort of a double benefit.

Add your coffee grounds & filters & your used teabags to the compost, & almost any liquid-
stale soft drinks, flat beer, leftover wine, the water in which you've cooked your vegetables, etc.

Thanks for the tips Sylvia I think this is a dead forum Ill see you in Composting!

3. Don't use any pesticides, herbicides, or unnatural fertilizers
4. Collect rainwater (to water your plants)

Stop using soap to wash yourself unless you've been playing Grease Monkey. I haven't used soap in the shower for over a year. Saves money, pollution... I just use a wash cloth to rub the dead skin cells off... and I don't stink either. Still use a minimal amount of shampoo every third day.

Use a hugel garden for your veggies and flowers. It recycles everything in your yard. After one year, if you build it right, you won't have to water or fertilize. I save my kitchen scraps for my new hugel. Amazed at how many scraps I get every day. The trash men are happy! We are the only ones on our street that don't put our can out every week.
