I want to be all granola-y and mother-earth like, I really do, but I'm not about to give up my lip gloss or heavy-duty zit fixer. That's why I'm loving these 30 eco-friendly tips. They're so easy and they actually will make a big impact on the planet -- no wearing hemp or recycling toilet paper necessary.

Tip 2: Install a low-flow showerhead. You can save up to 750 gallons of water a month* (meaning a cheaper H2O bill) and new versions still feel luxurious.
