I thought about this, but I wasn't sure. I only didn't put it in there because I was figuring this could also be used for simple advice stuffs. If a mod moves it I wouldn't be upset, I was just 50/50 on where to put this.
Metope:
Yeah I think it can go here, it's not like we have to get into huge debates about how the earth is being destroyed and what all humans should do about it, we can just share tips, ask for/give advice and talk about what we do personally.
Papersatan:
Also LED bulbs don't give off uv light so they dont attract bugs!
We have a light at the top of our outdoor stairs that we can't turn off (landlord liability thing I think) and it was always swarming with bugs in the summer , which meant bugs always got in the house when you opened the door. We replaced it with an LEad bulb last year and problem solved!

Hmmm.
1. Get into the habit of eating vegetarian meals more often if you aren't already a vegetarian. Added bonus: greater diversity in your life.
2. Change how you buy, cook and save food in such ways as to minimise food waste. Bonus: save money, empty trash less often, have less smelly home.
3. Don't buy/replace stuff with new stuff all the time. Learn to make the most of what you have and take advantage of second-hand stuff. Bonus: save money, get satisfaction from squeezing value out of old things by creatively modifying or fixing them.
4. Spend some time on insulating your home a little better. Bonus: you'll be less cold.

I actually didn't know about that at all, we're learning already!
This one is more of something that's obvious, but we forget about a lot. When shaving or brushing your teeth you're allowed to turn the water off in between strokes (heh) and it's okay to not flush after some pees. If you're an American those toilets can use up to 5 gallons of water a flush, it's okay, just put the seat down sometimes to cover it up.
Also, just a personal gripe, if you have a lawn, please don't use thousands of whatever units you use to water it. It's a lawn, there are droughts across the globe right now and the ones in America are being exasperated because of water usage in farming and lawn care.
