Methods for converting your car to biodiesel and putting solar panels on your house are all well and good – for someone who actually has the money to do that kind of stuff. I can't do that on a blogger's salary! Although, I am saving all kinds of CO-2 emissions by shelling all those peanuts they pay me by hand.
What's your cost-effective and affordable way of going green? Instructables wants to know – and they're holding a contest to pick out who does it the best. How do you reduce, reuse, recycle, reporpose, recycle, and rebuild? Post your creative ideas and you just might win a mention in popular science magazine, hybrid commuter bicycle, hybrid solar charger, 1-year subscription to Popular Science magazine, or a really neat t-shirt.

I wish I saw car renting companies only renting green cars.
