I like to use as little of these items that I can, both to save money at the grocery store and to live more green.
Warning! The men may want to skip the next two tips. (these are for the ladies)
Okay men, you can come back now!
Hope that you were able to find something useful in my list of tips. I work at trying to think twice before putting something into the trash can. It's nice that we now have the phrase "Going Green" for some things that has been around forever. Being frugal, making the most of our resources, keeping trash to a minimum and saving the Earth for future generations!

I do all the things on your list and more. As a kid, I remember my grandmother and her friends making rugs out of old bread bags, and thought it was strange. Well, I have this huge, jumbo crochet hook, so I cut thick loops out of bags and make thick rugs to use out our back door. They're soft and cushiony, they wear like iron, I get less dirt tracked into the house, and they're free. I also make rag rugs out of old clothing and have given many away as requested gifts. Forget buying cleaning cloths, I use old cotton clothing (rags) in different sizes for small-large messes.
