• Using cloth napkins instead of paper ones
• Try to make cards, letters and perhaps gifts from household items such as cardboard.
• Instead of writing lists on piece of paper, you can write them on your phone. Many phones from several brands offer free writing applications.

2. Instead buying books read them online:

Buying an E-reader may seem expensive at first however by buying you will be saving on costs of buying many books; this is because many books are free. Most new laptops offer Adobe reader, which can read most E-books, if you don’t have Adobe, it can be downloaded from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ (for both Macintosh and Windows operating systems). Further more and more importantly you will be helping to preserve more trees buy buying E-books. By following this idea you will not have to purchase a bookshelf nor will you have to think of people to give your old books away. Most E-books and store can store more then five hundred books, in addition they are many books to pick from. The price range for most books is from $55(Kenya shillings 4950 converted by a rate of Shs90 to $1) and above.

3. Rather then using air freshener in your house its more environmentally friendly and less toxic to use houseplants. These plants include Peace lily, Daises, Aloe Vera and many more plants. (A list can be found on http://healthychild.org/blog/comments/tip_10_house_plants_make_good_air_filters/) These plants not only clear the air but also make a house more beautiful. Instead of spending ridicules amounts on inter-design sets, that can break, it is smarter to get houseplants that provide you and your family with fresh air made at home.
