5 Go Green At Home Tips!

Green "to go." - Not brewing at home? Take a travel cup to your favorite java joint; they may fill it at a discount.

Put it to sleep. - If you'll be away from your computer for more than 20 minutes, change it to "sleep" mode.

BYOB. - Bags, that is. It's good for your wallet, too: Some retailers, such as CVS, now pay you for every disposable bag you don't take ($1 on a special CVS card for every four trips on which you BYO).

Book it. - Dr. Seuss's 1971 book, The Lorax, stars a creature who "speaks for the trees" against those who'd cut them down. Talk about the message with your tykes (book and matching plush doll, $5 each, Kohl's).

Pitch in. - Live in one of the 11 states with bottle bills? Have your kids collect aluminum cans and plastic bottles to redeem for cash to spend on a treat.
