Wow. I have a lot of catching up to do! I'm only going to highlight the Page-A-Day tips that people are less likely to have heard - the others are pretty common tips.
January 8 - use concentrated forms of products you use everyday (laundry detergent, juice, etc.). Buy dry goods in bulk (flour, sugar, pasta, spices). (I'm not a huge fan of concentrated foods, but I definitely agree with buying in bulk - Whole Foods is great for this)
January 10 - If you have a diesel car, convert it to run on biodiesel. And use your car as little as possible. Check out: www.zipcar.com; www.greasecar.com
January 12 - Buy recycled office products. Check out: www.thegreenoffice.com, www.recycledofficeproducts.com, www.waldecks.com, www.officedepot.com/recycle.
January 14 - Leave a bucket in the shower to fill up with "gray water" when you're waiting for the water to heat up - you can feet plants with the water.
January 16 - It takes an estimates 1.5 million barrels of oil to make plastic water bottles for Americans, and 77% of those are not recycled. Buy a Sigg bottle (or Klean Kanteen).
January 17 - Check out Rachel Carson, who is credited with launching the global environmental movement.
January 19 - Make your own lunch and bring it to work (in non-plastic containers). And buy a set of portable utensils (such as To-Go Ware)
January 23 - Donate to a environmental charity, or join a environmental group such as Sierra Club or Audubon Society
January 26 - If you see the company cleaning staff mixing recycling with trash, contact your supervisor or human resources and try to prevent it from happening in the future.
January 27 - "Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons." ~ Douglas Adams, The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
