Send us a conservation tip and enter to win a copy of the book Trash Talk

Do you have a favorite tip about how to conserve or re-use household or workplace items, materials, or resources? Do you have a nice idea about how a person can live more lightly on the planet?

Let other WA Free Press readers know your tip, and you can also enter to win a free signed copy of Dave & Lillian Brummet's complete book, Trash Talk. Submit your conservation tip along with your address, and we'll randomly select a winner. Tips must be received by Oct 1, 2005.

We'll publish a selection of tips received. If you like, include a photo to illustrate your tip.

We do not add your address to any junk mail lists. (That would certainly defeat the purpose of conservation!)

Print the form below, or you can also email your tip and address to editor@WAfreepress.com with subject heading "Trash Talk Contest."
