Leaving the room for more than ten minutes? Leaving your computer for more than an hour? Leaving your phone so you can go to sleep? TURN THEM OFF!! Turning off electronics is probably the easiest green tip in history; for some reason, people seem to believe that the wasted electricity isn't so bad because they're not in the room. It's not okay! When not in use, turn off the juice.

Don't throw out hangers. I've never understood why people would ever buy hangers. They're made of plastic (or even better, metal!) -- they last a lifetime! Bring your hangers to college, to your new home, hang your kids' clothes on them, have them bring them to college. Of all the things we throw out, I never understood why someone would throw out a hanger. Unless it broke of course... so don't buy any hangers UNLESS they break (which hardly ever happens anyway!)

Take notes electronically! If you need to take notes on a book, you don't have to waste paper. Even if you don't have a computer available, many smartphones now have notepad applications that are very convenient.
