I've only just begun to conserve the bottles I use instead of throwing them in the trash. Since I don't have any access to recycling, I am trying to come up with upcycling projects but they require certain expertise and tools.
I also shut off all my lights on sunny days and open the shades. I don't do my dishes and laundry at the same time, as not to exhaust the water supply and energy. When the temperatures are at a reasonably comfortable level outside, I turn down the heat to 60F. I would turn it off altogether, but there are still nights when it can drop below freezing.
I reuse paper over and over, and same with PT and tissues. The latter doesn't sound very sanitary, but it's more of being fiscally conservative than sensitivity for the environment. PT and tissues are expensive!
I reuse water bottles probably 20-30 times. For instance, I had a two-dozen pack of water bottles that lasted me all of the year 2020... late January to sometimes this past December. I use water from the filter in my fridge as opposed to tap water. The same goes with the coffee maker, I use fridge water instead of tap water.
I should try to repurpose the K-Cups once they've been used but I have to do further research on that.
