What are you doing to be gentle to our planet? What is your favorite? What do you think has the most effect?

Interesting question. I think that for me using a Mooncup has to be my biggest and most meaningful contribution towards trying to ameliorate the damage I'll do to our environment over my lifetime. The Mooncup is made of win and awesome - cheap, environmentally friendly, liberating etc.

What about you?

I have a Mooncup as well. I don't think of it as planet friendly, just liberating, as you said.

I use reusable bags, have a few CFLs, unplug appliances that don't have a clock or aren't used all the time (toaster, etc), we put a timer on our living room lights, and flush every other time.

I don't feel like it is much, but every little bit helps. I even have my mom reusing her plastic grocery sacks.

I turn the water off when I brush my teeth. :)

I had forgotten about that trick. We both brush in the shower.

Really? Do you floss in the shower too?

Yes, really. I also floss in the shower. We use the Reach flossers. Better than sliced bread.
