Never. It's bad for the computer to turn it off.

Sometimes...

Always.

I don't have a computer, so it doesn’t matter.

One or two.

Three or more.

I won’t use them. I don’t like the flickering.

I don’t know. Is this one of those dumb light bulb jokes?

Top freezer.

Bottom freezer.

Side-by-side.

The kind found in houses with teenagers who make repeated trips to the refrigerator and hold the door open indecisively, usually on the hottest days of the year.

Sometimes.

Always.

Why bother? What’s a few more batteries in the landfill?

What are rechargeable batteries?

Every day.

A couple times a week.

Occasionally.

Never. My car makes me sophisticated and glamorous.

Never.

Rarely.

Sometimes.

Always. I belong to a health club, so I don’t need any more exercise.

Never.

Occasionally.

About half the time.

Yes, but I also roll up the toothpaste tube from the bottom, so I’m not all bad.

Conventional top loader on warm wash and warm rinse.

Conventional top loader on hot wash and cold rinse.

EnergyStar washers on cold wash and cold rinse.

Bar your teenagers from the washing machine until they stop laundering one pair of socks in hot water at the large load setting.

One inch per week.

Three inches per week.

Three or more inches daily. Unless the lawn is iridescent green, the neighbors will turn me in to the homeowners committee.

I don’t. I hate mowing, the lawn is brown, and I don’t care what the neighbors say.

Listen for gurgling sounds.

Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank.

Call a plumber and hope your credit card isn’t maxed out.

Vacuous corporate slogans.

Through our donation program, we provide old magazines to schools, libraries and dentists’ offices.

We use a lot of stuff, but we recycle paper, plastic, metal ... the works.

We practice source reduction and reuse, then recycle what’s left.

Paper.

Plastic.

Both are about the same.

A pox on both houses. Use reusable totes.

Disposable paper.

Disposable polystyrene foam.

Reusable mug.

I don’t drink coffee. Yes, there are a few of us in the Northwest.

Frequently. It works great for cleaning bathroom surfaces.

Sometimes, if I run out of commercial cleaning products.

Never. I love the smell of chlorine in the morning.

Huh? I use baking soda for cookies.

Invite slugs over for a few microbrews.

Control aphids with ladybugs.

Plant Northwest native species such as ocotillo.

Add about 10 pounds of nitrogen fertilizer per 1,000 square feet of lawn.

All the time. Paint is expensive.

Sometimes. If I have leftover paint, I keep it for touch-ups, or give it away.

Never. I watch Home Improvement reruns, so I don’t need to ask for help.
