Everyday I continue to persue ways to become more green and reduce my carbon footprint.  Here are a few green, earth friendly tips that I already follow:  I’ve been using fabric napkins and towels instead of paper napkins or towels for years.  Living in Delaware County, PA, I am able to walk to my local Havertown grocery store,  where I use reusable grocery bags, and to my local Havertown Starbucks where I take my reusable coffee mug to get my coffee.  Also, my iPhone has many apps for organizing my to-do lists and shopping lists, so I never have to worry about where I wrote it down or misplacing the paper. 

Recently my car broke down along West Chester Pike in Newtown Square.  I took the opportunity to make the switch to a hybrid.  I was previously getting about 15-20 miles a gallon, but now I am getting about 40 miles per gallon, my car is literally paying for itself.  I am now able to drive all over Philadelphia, Delaware County, Chester County and Montgomery County, without having to stop for gas. I feel better that I am driving a more planet-friendly vehicle.
