Organic Cotton Tote

I bought a set of four organic cotton tote bags to use when I go grocery shopping to cut back on plastic bags.

What are some other ideas for helping the environment like that?

Cut down on water use. Use cold water to wash your clothes and use the Purex natural Elments detergent it is also super concentrated and earth friendly and cheap too. Oh and get the energy bulbs and be safe with them though if they break on you it can emit mercury into your body if you inhale and you have to go about cleaning and disposing of them properly, but they are good on saving energy. Put your water heater at 120 degrees no higher. When you are showering wet your hair turn off faucet then lather with shampoo, then rinse, turn it back off then soap up your body and then rinse. Also use your towels twice in a row, get these cheap hooks to hang your towels on that go over your door and they are like $2 for two and also reuse your plastic water bottles a few times and refill with your own water. Use the green works cleaning products. They are affordable. Use e-mail as much as you can for paying online bills instead of getting paper bills. Walk to the store if you can and have time. Use your car less and also please recycle, contact your local recycling company on how to do this properly. Okay I am sure there is more but I can not think of it all now.

Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low environmental impact, and are free of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, or ...

I just used the yahoo green impact calculator and it gave me a 2.5 and later when i go check the plan tells me i have a 8.7

That its just simply imposible, i am a vegetarian along with a organic diet, all the bulbs in my house are flouresent, i strictly use biodegradable cleaning producs and i dont drive a car.
i grow as many beautifull plants as i can in my backyard with out making it look too crowded.
even my clothes are organic cotton and so on, when i do groceries i have my own tote bags and i do not use paper or plastic bags.

and no people i am not a spychopath i am just a concerned 24yo who trully cares.
