We'll start with a dozen tips meant to protect and preserve Mother Earth. We'll keep adding new ideas and tips as we find them and we'll organize them in a useful fashion. Go ahead, send us a few. Let's see if we can get 1 million useful ways to 'Go Green.'

Be part of something big!

44. Use reusable cloth gift bags or artfully tied cloth remnants instead of disposable paper gift wrap. --Submitted by Michael at Wrapsacks.com

43. Refill empty ink cartridges. Check out your local office supply store or website for a refill kit. Be sure to read and follow the directions carefully or you could end up with a real mess!

42. Add ½ cup of baking soda to the rinse cycle of your washing machine, it will act as a natural fabric softener

41. Instead of shaving creams, foams or gels...spread on olive oil and shave as usual.

40. Meat Tenderizer...Dilute the juice of 1 lemon in ¼ cup of water, pour over beef and let set 1 hour before cooking.

39. 1 cup of lemon juice in a load of laundry will brighten whites...no need for bleach.

38. Spray vegetables with 1 part distilled vinegar to 3 parts water, rinse. Eco-friendly way to remove pesticides.

37. Homemade Mouthwash: Brew up a cup of Black Tea, let cool, swish as you would mouthwash. Germs get killed, you get fresh breath.

36. Hand Me Down Clothing - don't toss out clothes when your kids grow out of them, hand them down to someone who can still wear them.

35. Use Glass Baby Bottles instead of plastic. They are less likely to grow bacteria and will last much longer.
