Don't get upset if things don't progress. Being eco-friendly takes time. It's ideal to start small and form good habits that will last a lifetime. Start recycling and reusing everything from plastic bags to glass jars. Bike, bus or carpool to work. Compost vegetable and fruit scraps. Eat organic, locally grown produce. Drink filtered tap water instead of bottled. Bring a reusable travel mug to your favorite coffee house.
