Going Out
Be a better consumer!
Did you know that the average American generates about 4.4 lbs of trash each day? To reduce the amount of trash you generate, follow these few easy steps.
- Use re-usable coffee mugs and shopping bags. If you forget your mug or bag at the store, buy a new reusable mug or bag and keep the extra one in your purse or car for use the next time you're out. Alternatively, set aside $1 each time you forget your mug or bag; depending on your memory, you'll have enough funds to purchase a reusable item sooner or later.
- Re-use as many things as possible and recycle at home, work and school.
Shop local!
- The shorter the distance your food travels to your plate or that product travels to your home, the fewer greenhouse gases are produced. Declare one day a week "Local Day" and eat foods produced within 50 miles of your house.
