• Recycle furniture and clothing. Don't throw out items that may still have some use. Take them to the Salvation Army and similar organizations, or to a second-hand store. This includes appliances and toys. Someone in your area can make use of them.
• Return metal clothes hangers to the cleaners every time you take in cleaning.
• Share equipment. Perhaps you and your neighbours can go together to buy equipment: lawnmowers, grass rollers, electric saws and such. You'll save money and Canada will save energy.
• Try renting. Why buy a rototiller or chain saw for a few days' work each year? Rent instead.
