Earth Day or daily life?

Earlier this month I asked readers to share their recycling efforts — either at home or at work — for an Earth Day column.

Recycling tips from readers
•Use canvas bags when you go to a store or the mall to decrease the number of paper and plastic bags you use.

•Use old envelopes for shopping lists.

•Purchase coffee in a can, rewrap the empty can with some once-used paper, and use it to keep tea bags fresh.

•Save all the tissue paper when opening gifts. The tissue paper can be used to wrap ornaments and lights when putting away your holiday decorations.

•Reuse paper bags for shipping gifts, and also for wrapping gifts. A marker or stickers can be used to decorate.
