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

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

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?

Comment by Alyn Gwyndaf on January 14, 2009 at 7:51pm: 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
