It’s cold out, so we idle our cars for longer periods of time to get them warmed up and then idle while we wait for somebody else to make us food so we don’t have to get out of the car. The amount of wrapping paper that this continent uses is absolutely disgusting, and it’s a complete waste of resources and money.

Sustainability is the process of adopting a sustainable lifestyle that ensures the conservation and security of the Earth’s natural resources. Scientists are warning that humans are depleting these resources at an alarmingly fast rate, one that outstrips the planet’s ability to renew them.

While you can’t always pay for convenience if you don’t have the financial resources to spend the extra, if convenience is important to you, and you can afford it, there’s no reason not to. I won’t have to drive so much; maybe I won’t even have to get a rental car. What will you use it for?

Another way to save money – explore your local library’s connections for books on tape or eBooks – downloading these from your libraries’ resource or website could save a bundle. Avoid Consumerism. Shop Online. And the best part: you may have just cut a developer out of building another cookie-cutter high-rise.

We are co-hosting a bday party for a dear friend of mine this Saturday and we are in charge of all the food. Consumerism Commentary asks us if we are better off than our parents ? This is an awesome resource for me since we are always trying to find the best deal. This week we are busy bees planning. Going Frugal.

What a great resource. Financial Highway tells us how we can beat inflation with our food budget. This is an awesome resource since I have recently turned into a bookworm. Consumerism Commentary talks about financial motivation for getting in shape. I must say, none of these 10 things have entered my mind.
