- on cooking/eating (e.g. become a vegetarian)
- on cars/gas (e.g. stay home)
- on utilities (e.g. insulate your water pipes)
- on medical needs (e.g. ask your doctor to prescribe a generic)
- on clothing (e.g. hit the thrift stores)
- on various household tasks (e.g. use water from boiling eggs or pasta to water your plants)
