Deep conversations could lead to interesting revelations about your impact on the environment. Even though you may make a point to recycle and reuse, it's crucial that you reduce your consumption as a whole. Instead of buying new media such as books, comics, magazines, music, movies and games, ask to borrow them from friends and offer to do the same. Grow your own herbs and veggies. Mend and repair items instead of replacing them. Always ask yourself if you can live without something before you give in to urges to impulse shop.
