Going green is the cool bandwagon to jump on these days.  There are simple things you can do to make a positive impact on the environment.  Recycling is made easy by most cities, they provide you with bins and a recycling truck picks up once a week.  Even if your city does not offer this service, recycling dumpsters can be found in many areas.  Even my small town has a paper dumpster at the library.  Another green step you can take is using cloth diapers.  Disposable diapers do not breakdown as they sit rotting in the landfill.  You also save money taking this step.
