I set out to find the best green tips of 2008. Unlike Conan the Barbarian, I may not know what is best in life. I do, however, know a good tip when I see one. My qualifications for what is best are based on originality, timeliness and uniqueness. The best tips, such as eating locally, changing your filters, riding the train and switching to a hybrid are far too obvious for this list. You can find those tips anywhere. This list is composed of 77 little-known, oft-overlooked and timely tips.

  1. Use a wind-up alarm clock. That's a tip straight from the UN.

  2. Learn how to pick a hybrid car. This isn't exactly that novel, but it sure is timely for prospective hybrid owners. Hey. Leave me alone. It's way up high on top of the list. There are a lot of tips here.

  3. A youthful face without Botox is only a supermarket trip away.

  4. Don't flush medicine down the toilet. Dispose of it properly or use it as prescribed.

  5. Give yourself stitches. Personally, I'd probably need more stitches after I gave myself stitches.

  6. Befriend a duck. It's a morality tale.

  7. Don't shop around for gas in the city.

  8. Support Child Labor. It's not what you think. But it could be, so you should see what it is.

  9. Ride the slipstream. Kind of dangerous but interesting nonetheless.

  10. Now that the housing market is in the tank, renting is rising in popularity. Going green is possible for renters and condo dwellers.

  11. Clean your dusty car to reduce its carbon footprint. All that dirt is holding you back. It's doing nothing for your image either.
