Step 1
Collect fruit and vegetable scraps for composting instead of throwing them away or putting them down the garbage disposal. You can purchase or make all different types of composting bins. You can even find composting bins that can be kept inside under the kitchen sink.
-
Step 2
Take leftover coffee grounds and add them to your houseplants instead of throwing them away. Another options is to add them to a composting bin. Either way, you should not simply throw them in the trash.
-
Step 3
Collect excess water when you boil food items such as pasta. Use this water for your houseplants or even outdoor flowers. Conserve water any chance you get - this is a very important step in going green.
-
Step 4
Recycle glass and plastic containers along with cardboard from any food packaging. If you live in a city that has curbside recycling, simply include these items in your weekly pickup. People who don't have recycling programs should investigate local drop off locations for recyclable materials.
-
Step 5
Purchase only natural organic cleaning products to use in your kitchen. These products don't contain the harmful ingredients included in other household cleaners. Natural products are great for the environment as well as your family.

Step 6
Mix 1-part vinegar and 1-part water into a spray bottle to use for a cheap natural cleaner. Vinegar is a safe cleaning product that is good for the environment and does an excellent job.
