To my delight, I'm seeing more and more desi families making an effort to go green.
Soooooo --- lets all share our green practices around the house.
I'll start - we:
- recycle
- try to use washclothes for cleaning
- re use zip lock bags that we use to freeze things in ...
go ahead you're turn

- I switch the lights off of a room when I leave the room
- Don't use dishwasher (don't have one in the apartment nor do I need one)
- Reuse plastic bags
- Try to reuse ziploc bags
- Have energy savers in entire apartment
- recycle whenever and wherever I can
However, I don't care about organic food and stuff and don't go berserk over being eco-friendly and going green and what not as people do these days.

I now recycle plastic bags and glass jars/bottles. Collect them up in a box and take them to the recycle bin.
Recycle foil, paper, card, plastic bottles.
Switch off all lights not used in house.
I also now wash some zip lock bags which can b used again.
Definitely use a wash cloth when paper towel can b avoided in kitchen.
Have an energy and water efficient washer/dryer. But actually to be honest i would prefer one that used more water!

This weekend I changed all my light bulbs to green ones , that will save me a bit on electricity bill also.
I am a man with a plan. A plan to live a simple , fulfilling life.
