could be thrifty/green, could just be quirky

• I always get the very last bits of peanut butter/mayo/ketchup out of the bottle. I use spatulas and spoons - those silicon spatulas. I am capable of getting the teeniest specks of laundry soap and fabric softener out of the bottles too. When I reach the end of a tube of something like hand cream I often cut the flat end off the tube and stick my fingers down in it to get the last bits.
  
• I shut off lights all the time. Our house is pretty dark.
• I am always contemplating how to re-use bread bags.
• And dryer lint.
  
• I like to wait until the carpet in the living room really needs to be vacuumed. Why waste energy on a slightly filthy floor?
• I recycle everything in the whole world. Mostly. I break down and recycle every box from every kind of food we buy - rice boxes, cereal boxes, cookie boxes.
• If I accidentally spill out too much of a particular cleaning product (like Bon Ami) I will leave a little pile somewhere, to use later.
• We don't use cloth napkins but we re-use those big paper ones. One little smudge of sauce? I will refold that napkin and put it back in the drawer.
  
• We hardly use paper towels at all and often cut them in half when we do.
• Cold water wash, in as few loads as possible, the smallest amount of detergent, and the bottle gets rinsed clean when it is nearly empty and that water goes in the laundry too.
• I tell myself that window air conditioners, used with discretion, with all the curtains closed is greener than central air.
  
• No chemicals on the lawn, garden or trees.
• Green shopping bags have completely replaced grocery bags, we never forget them.
  
• I run the dishwasher at odd times but that's really because I often forget to turn it on.
• I buy large sizes of shampoo which I figure means less plastic.
• I'm always yelling at Youngest to get out of the shower.
• Towels, as well as some articles of clothing, are used more than once before laundering.
• I read on the internet instead of buying magazines.
• I never use those plastic produce bags at the supermarket.
• We make every attempt to repair things rather than dispose of them.
