…Do you recycle? ~ yes. I am not vigilant about it but I have a garbage can specifically for recyclables in the garage.


…Do you turn the water off when you brush your teeth? ~ um, when I think about it. I am (shamefully) wasteful when it comes to water.


…Do you drive a hybrid car?

Do you recycle?

Yes, we do, but we have to transport it all to the transfer station in town and we have an embarrassingly HUGE amount overflowing our cans right now! We have a large trash can for plastic, another for glass, another for cans/paper and they are FULL and need to be taken.

…Do you turn the water off when you brush your teeth?

Usually, though I brush my teen in the shower in the morning, so not then.

…Do you drive a hybrid car? If not, would you consider one in the future?

No, and I would only if I could afford to keep it along with my Jeep and a truck, we live a lifestyle that requires more rugged vehicles and we tow a lot/cargo a lot due to our business and our kids activities. We also carpool a lot, which would be impossible with a hybrid, so in too many ways they don't make sense for us and where/how we live. Honestly I'm not sure if a hybrid would safely make it down my driveway!

…Do you walk/ride your bike anywhere instead of driving when you can?

Ha, no, there was this website to rate the walkability of your city, mine scored a ZERO. The only thing within walking distance is....the horses?the chickens?? Closest anything to purchase from is a wine bar (which we do threaten to ride a horse to!) and that is probably 4 miles away. Nothing else even remotely close to walk to.

���Do you have any of those funny spiral light bulbs in your house?

No

…Do you use reusable water bottles?

We don't use water bottles at all, we use cups! I do allow water bottles for horse events and that's about it. DD uses a huge jug for soccer, otherwise we just fill a cup out of the faucet.

…Have you ever planted a tree?

Sure, lots of them.

.Do you recycle?

We have 3 bins. One for garden cuttings etc, one for recyclables(no glass, though :-()and a normal bin. They're picked up alternating weeks. One week is brown(recycling), next week is green(other)

…Do you turn the water off when you brush your teeth?

Every time. So do the kids. They know no better

…Do you drive a hybrid car? If not, would you consider one in the future?

No car

…Do you walk/ride your bike anywhere instead of driving when you can?

Use public transport except when we need to borrow DH's dad's car

…Do you have any of those funny spiral light bulbs in your house?

Every one

…Do you use reusable water bottles?

Metal bottles - but I'm a bit slack at filling them so I buy more plastic than I should.

…Have you ever planted a tree?

Nope.

…Do you recycle? YES

…Do you turn the water off when you brush your teeth? YES (ETA: I've probably always turned the water off because when I was in high school I attended Louisiana Girls State, and we had to make up our own city rules for our dorm and that was one of the rules and I didn't have a problem with it)

…Do you drive a hybrid car? If not, would you consider one in the future? NO, MAYBE

…Do you walk/ride your bike anywhere instead of driving when you can? NO (maybe to SIL's, but anywhere else I need to go is too far away or too difficult to walk/ride bike--not that I have a bike anyway) (ETA: I grew up in a small town where I did walk and ride bikes EVERYWHERE!)

…Do you have any of those funny spiral light bulbs in your house? YES, in all sockets except living room that has dimmer switch

…Do you use reusable water bottles? YES

…Have you ever planted a tree? YES
