We do our bit.
Recycling is easy because we don't have to sort, the recycle plant does it, just have to make sure that only "dry" goes in the bin. Here if you sell oil (FLAPS) you must recycle it for free, but we also have several hazardous waste days at the dump.
Our house and my shop is R-2000 spec with passive solar and a heatpump. We always bring our own reusable bags for groceries. We used to compost but the 20 chickens eat most of it now, plus give us organic fresh eggs. I have worked hard on our 23 acre nature preserve, lots of wildlife around here. I've transplanted/planted at least 500 trees myself. We have a large garden.
Water is the same stuff as in your bottles, most of comes from wells not far from here. Our well water is so good it's not even worth running through a brita filter, but we still do. BTW if you drink the cheap bottled water from Canada it comes out of Lake Ontario
