Like the shower one - I lose quite a bit of hair in the shower and rather than let it all drop down to the floor of the bathtub and then into the drain, I will put it up on the wall and then dispose of it after my shower. But putting it up on the wall means I'm in there at least an extra 2 minutes. Hence I take 10 minute showers. The Television one I could definitely live with. Ever since Earth Hour... I've made it a habit not to have the TV on if I'm on the computer and vice versa. Besides, it just distracted me from reading whatever it was I was trying to read on the internet.

We thrive on the computer what with the blog, and my hsuband being a designer. The water filter is something I have been wanting to get, I don't really have a care for which bottled water I drink.

Have you considered investment saving? The idea is that you buy something after careful planning that reduces the overall cost of the household to more than the cost over a period of time. Examples would be solar panels, rain catchers and anything that reduces the need for other things. One thing I looked at recently was the overall impact of bulk purchases which can work well in the USA as your meat prices are way way lower than the EU/UK.

Never. Computer JUST for homework? Not happening. No bottled water? Can't do. (I love love love Arrowhead distilled. It tastes so crisp and clean. I've had filtered water... not the same!). My only suggestion would be to start shopping at those 99cents stores. You can get a lot of the same non-perishables there they sell in the big-name markets. (Toilet paper, paper towels, canned goods, shower gel, etc etc etc.) To be honest I only do a few things on this list. 1 hour of TV? Never. Computer JUST for homework? Not happening.

Almost zero food waste, thermostat at 65 (yes, I wear sweaters!) , compact fluorescent bulbs everywhere. I am appalled at people who live like the family you mentioned. Our public school system seriously needs to start educating children about energy conservation, etc. What to do about all the clueless adults, I have no idea.
