Water Conservation
We conserve our water in a few ways:
Rain Barrels
Water Meter
Sprinkler Timers
Low Flow/Dual Flush Toilets

Recycling
In our household we recycle the following items by taking them to a local recycling drop off location.  We sincerely hope that the Chicago blue bins reach us soon.
Glass
Plastic
Aluminium Cans
Cardboard
Paper

Composting
By composting our yard clippings & other organic waste, we not only reduce the amount we throw away we also create rich fertilizing soil for our garden & flower beds.  A win-win situation.

Walking/Cycling/Public Transportation
Whenever possible we attempt to limit the amount of travel we do via our automobile.  Daily walking also has the health benefits of exercise & is a great way to have some time alone to think.  The City of Chicago as well as Cook County Forest Preserve has some great trails.  Check them out.
