If you do this action, you could earn another 6 points [add to points]

Instead of running one of the most expensive appliances in your home, the dryer, try hanging your clothes on a clothesline, or some other alternative options that are free and don't require electricity.

If you don't have a clothesline outside (or aren't allowed to have one), you can also install a one indoors, where no one can see it. Other options include a drying rack, hanging them on a clothes hanger, or hanging them over a door or the shower rod. Once you've decided to avoid the dryer, it won't take long for you to figure out some more inventive places to dry your clothes.

Eat sushi and fish from sustainable aquaculture methods - Image courtesy of http://content5.videojug.com/d7/d7e6ec2c-d062-4d2a-7815-72f64a7ac808/how-to-eat-sushi.jpg
Eat sushi and fish from sustainable aquaculture methods
Many species of fish, commonly used in sushi, are either overfished, farmed with aquaculture methods that pollute the ocean, or are harvested in such a way as to cause the destruction of ocean habitats or kill large numbers of other marine species. Meanwhile, sushi made from wild-caught Alaska salmon, farmed scallops and Pacific halibut are considered more sustainable choices by the groups, as each comes from abundant, well-managed fisheries or, in the case of scallops, are raised using sustainable aquaculture methods

"I found good uses for the junk strewn around our rural property. TV sets make good plant stands for my vegetable garden containers. I used old washtubs and enamel cookware for planting herbs, beets and cabbages. A worn out fiberglass canoe made a fine onion, garlic and spinach bed. A wood bookcase on its side planted in rows of carrots and swiss chard made a raised bed and keeps the rabbits out. Even old tires work well with marigolds and trailing nasturtiums. It really cleaned up my yard and it's useful and decorative. P.S. Broken microwave ovens keep your garden tools dry and handy right where you need them."
