Go Green While You Shop

Confused by all of the options you have as a consumer? Take a look at the green shopping tips below and take action for the planet by making simple changes in the way you approach shopping — here are a few resources to get you started:

Your Food and Health:

• Ask Where Your Food Comes From — "There's almost always an alternative food that is more sustainable, local or organic."
• Eat Sustainable Seafood — "There aren't enough native shellfish doing the important things they're great at."
• Buy Sustainable Coffee — "Life is too precious to drink unsustainable coffee."

Your Home:

• Buy FSC Certified Wood — "Few of us know the origin of the forest products we purchase."
• Green Your Household Products — "The best part is: It's pretty easy to do."
• Garden with Native Plants — "Using plants adapted to your climate means less watering, pesticides and fertilizers."

Your Hand-Me-Down's:

•  Using Used — "It's a brave new economy, and it's 100-percent resource-free."
