Superhero Tips from "The Green Girls" - Saving the Planet One Lightbulb at a Time!

Shopping: The Simple Steps as taken from the green book (hey, its a great resource!)

Try to buy products with minimal to no packaging. If just one out of ten products you bought had little or no packaging, it would eliminate more than fifty pounds of waste per household per year. This small reduction could also save you at least $30 annually, as $1 of every $11 that you spend at the supermarket pays for the packaging of the products you buy. If every household did this, 5.5 billion fewer pounds of waste would enter landfills. This is enough garbage to cover all of New York City's Central Park to a depth of twenty-seven feet.

I pulled the packaging picture above from the site mentioned and was pleased to find a link to green packaging.

Hope you enjoyed my Green Girls Tips for this Thursday and remember We have only one Earth, let’s treat it with respect so our children can learn from our example and have a great place to raise their children.
