-Looking for a new tote bag as an alternative to paper or plastic? Invest in one of the FEED bags on feedprojects.com. Proceeds from one bag alone go to feed a child in school for one year.
-If you still have paper bags lying round your house or dorm, they make great lining for trash cans or animal cages. Other uses include book covers, gift wrap and packaging material.
-When it’s time to upgrade to a new computer, pick a laptop over a desktop. A laptop typically draws 15 to 25 watts during use, compared to the 150 watts used by a conventional desktop computer and monitor. Additionally, laptops use a fraction of a watt when in sleep mode.
-Put your laptopís AC adaptor on a power strip that can be turned off. That way, the adaptor is not constantly drawing power.
