Improbable: Devoted & Disgruntled

TWO D&Ds Both Alike in Dignity. One in fair NYC and one in fair London.

A list of little things to reduce waste, preserve the earth's resources, and use up less of your money.

Little things that we could do to help reduce waste and preserve the earth's resources. Your contributions can help the list grow and flourish.

AND - by an odd coincidence,
many things that use up fewer of the earth's resources
also use up less of your money.
Which is nice.

PRINCIPLE:
• Simple, specific actions, in a single sentence

PRACTICE:
• Add comments below to suggest additions to the list
• Email little.listling@gmail.com with 'Little List Entry' in the Subject line
• Join the The Little List group if you're on Facebook

TIPS:
• Think reduction and re-use before recycling
• Consider things your grandparents did during the war - ok, not necessarily all of them ;)
• Suggest the obvious - it may not be to everyone

Hello Alyn,

Your group has now been set up on the new D&D forum - if you'd like to post a 'welcome message'.

The link is: http://devoteddisgruntled.proboards.com

I'm with you on this Alyn, big time.

At The Red Hedgehog I've had in place for years a Green Travel Concession, where anyone who travels to the venue using public transport, electric vehicle, bicycle or on foot gets something - either a cheaper ticket or a ticket credit or reduced drinks or all of that.

This is a good group. If I may, I'll get back to you about linking to my website, if I may?

Here's The Little List as it stands so far:
• Use leaf tea rather than bags in rehearsal room, office etc
• Re-use cups or use mugs: don't throw out plastic cups
• Repair rather than replace it
• Ask 'why?' of each item you throw away
• Reuse leftovers (edible, material, conceptual!)
• Switch off equipment, computers etc. overnight
• Use the manual rather than automatic door
• Use elbow grease rather than electricity
• Buy it secondhand
• Use human energy where possible
• Use both sides of paper (more if possible)
• Manage your banking and bills on-line not on-paper
• Plan what you're going to eat at the start of the week and shop accordingly
• Darn it! Mend stuff
• Re-use paper cups
(note: today I used a vending machine that detects a cup placed in the vending area and doesn't dispense a new one. Clever)
• Get/save old buttons to replace old ones: renew or re-style according to taste
• Get a smaller bin
