1. My three grandnieces in Chicago are champs at recycling and the sensible use of resources.
2. When they visit my niece & her husband (their parents), they go through their refrigerator and throw out everything that's outdated. They remind them about nutrition vs. convenience.
3. They regularly and usually take public transportation in a city where the car is still king. How far away do you live from somebody? Ordinarily, you get the answer in "minutes," not miles or blocks, which means most people drive. With them, it's "three stops."
4. They separate their trash into glass & cans, newspapers, garbage, and other refuse, whether the city has caught up yet with distribution of the proper containers. The gardeners among them compost their garbage.
5. All three of them are largely vegetarian, thought not yet vegan. They still feed their husbands meat once in a while.
