| Shut down your computer and unplug it at night. It saves SO much energy! |

| Check the package - is it recycleable? If not, check another brand. See if you can find things in recyclable packaging! Or even better, if the package is made out of recycled material :) |

| Purchase in bulk. You don't really need your applesauce in individual containers, and it reduces the amount of waste you produce. |
