Saving the World

I do what I can when it comes to saving the world. However, I don't do nearly as much as some others. One small and simple step I took was to subscribe to this daily tip email newsletter at ideal bite which has been fantastic because every single day, I get these great little tips in my inbox. And they're useful and easy, which is a nice bonus. A few weeks ago, it was simple ways to reduce your carbon footprint, which by the way, even though I do most of our dishes by hand and turn off lights when not in use, etc, etc, I was amazed at how much energy we were still wasting; I tried their tip about plugging everything into a power strip and then shutting off the entire strip when you leave the room.....cut my energy bill folks!! Today though was an exceptionally exciting newsletter, and I'm sure some of you will agree; it was all about online swaps. I know for a fact that many of you are swappy little fiends, just like me, so here are the places ideal bite recommends - have fun!!

bookcrossing: leave your used books in designated public places and register said book on their website - they will send out an email alert for others to go find it. If you don't want to register it, just start leaving your used books in public places for other to find anyway.

freecycle: want it? look for it. don't want it? post it for someone else to take off your hands. there are lots of local members in lots of different towns, so check out this site, click on 'groups in your local area' and join a few to find new treasures for no monies!!!

swapagift: ever get gift cards you will never use? post them here and get some cash.

lendlist: this is a great place if you need to borrow something, or you have something you don't mind lending.

zunafish: cd's, books, dvd's and video games for $1/trade? count me in!

Your next stop, ideal bite - sign up for their newsletter.....I pinkie-promise you won't be disappointed!!!

I usuallу do not ԁrop a leаve a гesponse, but I reаd a feω
of the remarks on thiѕ page "Saving the World". I do have
some quеstions for you if it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it look like a few of the responses look like they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at additional social sites, I'd like to
κeеρ up ωith уou. Could yοu make а list of all οf аll
your sοcial pageѕ liκe your twіtter fеed, Facebook page or lіnkedіn profile?
