resort to fast food or takeout.

towels, reuse water bottles, and avoid disposable utensils

and dishes.

4. Buy Used: Buy clothes, books, toys, etc. secondhand from

thrift stores or garage sales.

5. Shop Around: When making a big purchase be sure to do

your research to get the best deal possible.
