If you do just one thing when it comes to your morning routine, consider switching to an all-natural, biodegradable shampoo. The suds we use to get our heads and hair squeaky-clean can end up in waterways, where aquatic wildlife and fish live. The chemicals in shampoos and conditioners, like artificial fragrances, dyes, microbeads and sulfates, can be hormone disrupters, and even cause death. The good news: It's easy now to find 100 percent biodegradable shampoos on the market, and they aren't expensive. One natural brand, JASON, is in most stores and is affordable and effective. Or look for biodegradable shampoo bars that ditch plastic bottles altogether; they create a rich later and are gentle on your hair and the planet.

We often think that disposable razors mean just that: Use them a few times and toss them into the trash. The reason why disposable razors lose their sharp edge is water and humidity, which causes them to rust. If you want to extend the life of your razor, keep a wide-mouth jar filled with a few inches of vegetable oil in the bathroom. After shaving, rinse and dry the razor and place the head in the oil. This will prevent rust and keep the blades lubricated. You'll be surprised how long one razor can last.

If you have to print a lot of text documents, one simple trick to cut back on paper waste is to decrease the margin sizes on your documents. Most word processor software is set with margins that give you ample space around the perimeter of the paper, even if the printer can print with wider margins. By decreasing the margin sizes to .75 inches on the top, bottom, left and right, you can easily fit more words onto each sheet of paper. More words means less paper, and less paper means fewer dead trees.
