Wonderful program. Great job eBay!

I recyle all the packing materials from EBAY GREEN

good

I am really excited that e-bay has added this program. I re-use all the packaging that I receive when I ship out my products. Green has been very important to me. I re-purpose furniture and other cool finds. Green is the way to go. Thank you (:

If we can make this world of ours more greener than the beautiful landscape with the same color, I believe that we can change the future for the better good for generations to come in our time and beyond.

Let's teach our children to be green and make smart environmental choices. This way, the benefits will continue past our own generation and into the next. Model green habits. Get kids involved. Learn your family's carbon footprint and reduce it!

Use your GPS in your every day drive on the save fuel setting , and find new ways to save gas and money everyday.

Our home is filled with yard sale and thrift store pieces, and we "shop" Craigslist whenever we need something and use Freecycle when we feel the need to give something away.

Reuse...also try making crafts out of old things u don't use anymore.

hey...just recycling my beer cans is a big help......,o.k. a couple pop cans too...

My mother is a master quilter. My treasured quilts are memories to recycle through our generations to come, she uses pieces of our childhood clothes, wedding dresses, neck ties, and more....tracing all the way back to my great grandmother!

Before buying new furniture look at yard sales and second hand stores to see if they have furniture that could be useful to you.

Our home is decorated with previously loved, repourposed items. We even fashioned an old twin bed as a modern sofa in our outdoor living room.

one planet left for ourselves,we either learn to inhale carbon monoxide or resolve kicking the oil industry in the nads instead of constantly embracing alternative fuels of oil,ex gas,oil,natural gas,shale

You can recylce your used coffee grounds in your gardens and yard. Coffee grounds can be used to amend the soil and as a compost ingredient.

I sell vintage designer accessories to help save the planet! Buy vintage designer accessories and incorporate them into your 21st century wardrobe! Peace to all !

We recycle everything we can. Some of the things we do are: we recycle our clothes by donating them to the local thrift store, we try to re-purpose old items as much as we can.

WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS GOING FOR OUR CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN.ITS A BETTER WAY OF LIFE FOR EVERYONE,AND EVRYTHING,

I love giving and getting things off Freecycle

I recycle everything I can and put my potato peelings, etc. in a compost pile and after they are composted into my veggie and flower gardens. I also garden organically and don't use any pesticides. Thanks for having this contest!

Keep a spray bottle of white vinegar and water solution and use it for an all-purpose cleaner.

avoid buying "over packaged" products, the packaging is really just a waste of resources

We are fortunate to live in a community that provides, free or charge, a full sized garbage can that is picked up for recycling every other week. Makes it very convenient and easy for the whole family to participate.

I recycle everything I can: newpapers, glass,plastic, aluminum; donate clothing to the local women's shelter, etc.

I like to use old magazines, junk mail, etc. for craft items for my children. It gets their creative juices flowing and re-uses "trash" in one move!

We moved into a neighborhood where for $10 we were able to purchase a recycling bin to go along with our normal trash can for collection. It is picked up each week at no additional charge, and I am teaching my kids the importance of recycling.

My magazines go to nursing homes and laundromats for recycling after I finish reading them. Paperbacks undergo the same fate. I take my cloth bags to the grocery store and when I am given plastic bags at other stores I reuse them in my wastebaskets.

I avoid buying products that are "over-packaged". Excess packaging is a waste of resources.

In our home we recycle everything and have for quite some time. We have even taught our children the importance of this and feel good that they also will be helping stay green.

We all need to get really serious about recycling and although I do fall off the bandwagon at times, I am making a more concentrated effort to give away all things I don't use and getting away from paper products. Using natural cleaning products.

I love to recyle everything. I recycle my kids clothes, paper products, make crafts using recycled materials etc... I do it all. I also make sure to involve my kids and have them participate in local earth day and green living activities.

Could not publish your comment; please try later.

One thing I have always tried to recycle is old magazines. I tear the address label off the cover and take them to hospitals, nursing homes, or even doctor's offices.

Just run the hot water heater a few minutes before you need hot water then turn it off.

I am a recycle nut! I can't stand waste and I'm very frugal. Every week I have 2 large cans of recycled papers, plastic and metal to put to the curb for pick up. If it can be recycled I don't throw it in the trash!

We don't use disposable ANYTHING. We have a huge stack of kitchen towels we use instead of paper towels, we use cloth napkins, have reusable bamboo fork/knife/spoon sets we use when eating on the go, use reusable shopping bags, etc.

Have you considered....worms! Seriously, they make great pets because they will eat (most) all of your leftovers and leave you with 'black gold' that will leave your vegetable garden in heaven! Search 'worm bin' for great ideas!

I've made bio diesel for the past 7 years from old fryer oil. When u follow me you get a fry craving.

I've been getting into hyper-miling while driving and I can instantly see the difference pay off.

We compost our leaves and use them in the vegetable garden. You can make an easy to assemble compost bin using wooden pallets for the sides of the bin; and the wooden pallets are often available for free.

One of my biggest things is reusable grocery/shopping bags - I love that we don't have an endless supply of plastic bags in our house anymore!

Use a food grade barrel to capture rainwater. Rainwater can be used to irrigate food gardens.

We don't buy bottled water because of the plastic. We use refillable washable bottles. No waste.

Repurpose 1/2 gallon juice & milk cartons. Cut off the top and use the bottom 1/2 or 1/3 for starting your garden seedlings!

To make your own feed scoop (dog/horse/chicken, etc) to an empty 1-gallon plastic milk carton. Cut the top and the side opposite of the handle out. You know have a very sturdy, FREE sccop.

I grow some of my own vegetables and fruits, recycle, and use energy efficient bulbs in all of my lamps. I unplug appliances that are not in regular use.

I recycle 95% of everything I used to throw out. I no longer use paper plates or towels. It's rewarding and I save on garbage bags

changed all the lights to energy efficient bulbs, and have begun to leave home an extra hour early so I can take the commuter train to the university rather than drive alone, saves my $$ and I cut out hundreds of miles worth of driving

Composting is both fun and rewarding. It's easy to do and my garden is all the better for it! It's the ultimate form of recycling!

No batteries needed, I have a Crank style Radio that I use. It is a multi purpouse Radio, Weather Channel and LED Flashlight......ITS AWESOME!

We buy organic and grow our own organic veggies. We use energy efficient bulbs. We recycle.

Buy used clothing. The patroleum & pesticides used to produce new clothing is huge! Buy local, pre-owned clothes, then donate them back to the thrift shops when they no longer fit. This is a great way to recycle & cut out packaging too!

I limit purchases of new items. I purchase used and then return items I no longer need to the used market.

We reuse as much as possible. Jugs get turned into work out weights. Laundry sheets get reused and after they are no longer good for laundry they go towards craft projects. Even though we don't have a yard we have a porch garden.

Whenever I empty a laundry detergent bottle, I fill with water and keep under the bathroom sink to use to freshen the stool between cleanings. I keep refilling until no more suds left then recycle it.

i reuse packing supplies and boxes make from recyclable materials for shipping, its cost effective and its green. I also recycle boxes that have been worn out from being used too much.

My green shopping list is empty because you actually have to stop buying to be green. Do without.

I sell vintage clothing on eBay. I live a green lifestyle, all my clothing, glasses, sunglasses, accessories are used. I walk, bike, skateboard, and take public transportation. I use reusable shopping bags & glass containers, I clean with vinegar.

I recently opened a consignment store that consigns and sells clothing and accessories and home decor items to help people save money and to recycle, instead of having all that fabric, plastics and synthetics going to landfills.

I reuse and repurpose everything from dryer sheets to clothing. I recently made a bustle out of a jacket that didn't fit very well. This bustle is fantastic! 'No New New' is my motto. http://www.facebook.com/Conservationista.org

baking soda keep the bottle fresh and water filtered into a reusable bottle and the kids love water. Reused kids shirts to make them blanket covers

I use vinegar and other homemade cleaners instead of harmful chemical ones!

I always think of phantom electricity use and make sure to unplug my microwave and plug my electronics into power strips, turning of the power strip when not in use

I recycle everything I can, from padded envelopes, paper, bags, glass, and plastic

I conserve energy (and save dollars) by using low-energy alternatives when it comes to appliances and electronics- and keep them turned off when I'm not using them for extended periods.

I pay attention to items I'm buying, checking out the competitors and trying to support ones that are green.

The county picks up your recyclables here. They come twice a week, it's free. It's a no-brainer.

Be green is be smart. Reuse, recycle, separate, just a few steps to a better envroiment. Lets contibute to the future! Lets participate of eBay Green Team!

I LOVE to be able to re-use clean packing materials when I ship out products! When we switched to a fresher diet we were amazed but how much LESS trash was in the bin on a weekly basis -- all those processed food boxes and packages really add up!

I reuse all the boxes and envelopes that I receive to ship my eBay items. I've also been known to send eBay items in a Lucky Charms box or a Pop Tart Box and I once used a toilet paper roll to protect a delicate item in the mail! Its green and fun!

This is a video I created on sustainable marketing techniques and practices that have been beneficial to lowering my overhead cost and lowering my environmental footprint. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIKNsipJvhU&feature=player_embedded Thanks, Nick

I consider how to recycle/upcycle any piece of 'trash' before sending it to a landfill. Almost everything can be recycled if you think creatively...empty Cafe du Monde cans for planters for example.

I use reusable bags when I go grocery shopping.

I try and reuse everything I can when shipping items, shipping boxes, tissue paper to wrap items, bubble wrap, peanuts you name it. Also I am a huge shopper at thrift stores, garage sales etc, great way to recycle and reduce land fills.

We reuse boxes from local businesses to ship our treasures. We love helping reduce the amount of items sent wastefully to landfills and instead placing the treasures with the rightful owners worldwide that have much appreciation for them.

check where products are manufactured before you buy them. look for products made in the US. if it's made in china, don't buy it; it's not green - the fuel spent shipping to the US automatically eliminates it from 'green'. miked

I grew up green! My family has recycled my whole life. Never throw away something, reuse it. I learned this back in the '60s from my grandmother and have continued the process throughout my life.

We recycle/reuse everything we can to avoid having it end up in the landfill.

Always buy organic when you can, even clothing and linens. I just learned that one bed sheet made with non-organic cotton uses 2 gallons of pesticides...poisoning our lakes, rivers and eco system.

I reuse the plastic grocery bags for everything. I bring my lunch to work in them. I carry my shoes in them. They are fantastic in MN winters because the plastic bag keeps things dry.

I always reuse the boxes that I receive in the mail or from UPS. Irresponsible to throw them out.

Here's one that's incredibly easy: drink tap water. Why pay a buck a bottle (and clog up landfills with all those bottles) for something you can get for less than a penny a gallon? If your local water really does taste bad, just get a Brita pitcher.

My parents and me are trying to support local and organic food; this means having a garden and buying almost all are food from companies located in California.

I take the pits and seeds from various fruits and vegetables and have grown whole new plants/trees from them. I have lemon, orange, avacado and guava trees in my yard. If everyone grew new plants from their garbage, we would help stop world hunger.

I save egg cartons, toilet paper and paper towel cores and boxes from things we buy to use for "green" packing and shipping. No complaints so far, and a few feedback comments like "great creative packing" have been posted on my account.

We reuse the roll of drawing-paper from our toddler's easel as wrapping paper for gifts. It's colorful, unique, and always well-received.

Trivial probably but ... My bathroom is the farthest away from the water heater. I like water flowing out of the tap when I brush my teeth, I "prime" my shower by turning on the hot water at a small trickle while brushing. Cake and eat it too.

We have stopped using disposable plates and glasses/cup while entertaining.

We use programmable thermostat and adjust the temperature while sleeping and while we're at work.

We use a tankless water heater. We have used it almost 2 years and it works great.

We installed a tankless hot water heater and a programmable thermostat so we can keep the house cooler when we are not there or are sleeping. We started using power strips on all electric appliances and powering down whenever possible.

Recycling and motivating friends to: use stairs instead of elevator, installing power strips, volunteering in green organizations, buying products from green companies, driving fuel efficient (not too fast, not idling)

We've installed solar panels and purchased energy efficient appliances & lighting. Installed insulated double pane windows and increased the insulation in our house. :)

We added screen doors to our house so we can use the air cross flow to keep it cool.

We use programmable thermostat and keep the temperature low while we're at work and sleep.

I brush my teeth while I take a shower to save water!!!

I am using those clear plastic clamshells that pastries come in as mini greenhouses for starting seeds for spring. I use the cardboard egg cartons to plant in and then place them in the clamshell, water and place in a sunny window. Works great.

we recycle everything allowable and take our own bags to the grocery stor

In Portland Oregon we can recycle all of our kitchen waste including pizza boxes, paper towels, and paper napkins, in with our yard debris. Now I only fill the garbage every 2 weeks.

I make my own bags to take to the grocery store and shopping. It's cheap to make and easy to keep in my car trunk. You can use any sturdy, sewing material/fabric and make them quickly and easily. You do not even have to have a sewing machine.

I make post cards out of cereal boxes, cake mix boxes, etc.

Eco Bulbs, reusable shopping tote bags, & my favorite item is Belkin Conserve Switch F7C01008Q Energy Saving Surge w/ Remote - already own one of these in the living room, & planning to buy another for my home office! I highly recommend it!

Take a casette tape player...split it open and remove the tape...use as a note holder.

sounds cool!
