Just some small things we do to help out:
- Recycle -- Roche has made this much easier for us!
- Compost -- This way our leaves and food scraps don't make their way to the landfill
- CFL bulbs -- Saves energy & lasts longer
- RO system -- We don't need to buy bottled water
- Programmable thermostat -- Heat or a/c run less when we are at work
- Reusable Grocery Bags -- I rarely bring home my groceries in the store sacks
Do you have any other simple tips for Earth Day 2009? :)

Update2: This post talks about cleaning supplies with examples of "make your own". Hip Organic Mama
Update3: This site has homemade baby food recipes. "Homemade baby food is a green thing to do! Because it is prepared and stored in reusable vessels, homemade baby food creates substantially less waste. " Nuture Baby I like that their recipes are organized by age range - no need to guess what is appropriate for your xx month old.
Update4: Another interesting article. This one is about cloth diapering. 3 compelling reasons to try cloth diapers.

The reusable grocery bags are a definite plus for the environment. They might also help us to curtail unnecessary purchases (buying just what fits in our bags):)
