And regarding #7 on your list - "use cloth napkins", I couldn't agree more. Cloth napkins are even greener if you make them from repurposed fabric. For example, I made a set of 8 dinner-sized napkins from an old red & white checkered tablecloth that had seen better days. I cut 10" x 10" squares - being careful to avoid the stains and holes. Then I hemmed each square all the way around (I did it by hand with a rolled edge, but it can be done by machine too). Inexpensive (practically free!) napkins that have lasted for years. Great post!

Don’t use the toilet as a trash can. Many items can plug up the your system or they may escape the sewage system during heavy storms and end up on beaches where they endanger marine wildlife. Sanitary products may say they are flushable but our plumbing systems were only designed to handle human waste and toilet paper so “Bag it and Trash it”. Try using single use biodegradable bags such as "Scensibles" to dispose of items like tampons, applicators, condoms, Q tips, personal wipes, etc. to maintain a hygienic environment in the lieu and protect our shared environment.

You can use the take out napkins instead. I find that I hardly ever purchase paper napkins or paper towels anymore.

One thing you could add is invest in a water conserving shower head. It uses less water and energy. Mine paid for itself in 2 months. The one I have reduces water use by 1 gallon/minute without sacrificing water pressure. And if you are willing to take a "Navy Shower" and use the cutoff switch while you soap and lather up, you can save even more. I liked mine so much, it was this year's xmas gift to my whole family.
