Seriously though - I very much like this resolution, and I am going to discuss it with the children... It will be interesting to gather their ideas and hopefully get them to "buy in" to this idea.
While I'm not re-using the toilet paper I make it a point to buy tp MADE FROM recycled paper, also paper towels. I figure that my @ss is not worth virgin forest trees being cut down.

I use cloth grocery bags almost always.

Stand back, I have a compost bin and know how to use it.

As part of the remodel I'm having to move everything from downstairs upstairs. And I imagine when I get to the upstairs flooring then do the reverse It's like moving but without the moving van.

As I pack things I'm going through the standard sorting system:

keep
donate
give away

I have found bike gear that I've either shrunk out of or no longer use. That's been donated to Trips for Kids a local group that actually has a bike thrift store

I also recommend www.freecycle.org
