I have thought about it for awhile, and as a result of the recent debate and resulting conversation, I made a decision to try it out.  I don’t think the world’s going to end if I have more petty cash to waste at Starbucks.  As long as I bring my own mug.

You can sign up for a daily e-newsletter from them and the tips that they give you are fairly easy to implement. Some involve buying more green products, but other are completely free things that are great reminders - like the unplugging the charger thing. Their whole point is to be a little greener without it being a huge headache. Which I love. I've been getting their newsletters for about a year now. I can't say I honestly read them every day, but they are my go-to site for checking out ideas. Good Luck! Check out http://www.idealbite.com.
