Tip of the Week-more easy eco-changes

Try to only buy paper towels, tissue, toilet paper and office paper made from post-consumer recycled content.

For the 52 Wednesdays (or whatever day of the week you choose) in 2009, forgo meat and stick to veggie options (saving money and saving the planet large amounts of greenhouse gases emitted from the raising of livestock) . Learn what foods are in season and look for them at your local market.

Boycott water bottles and disposable coffee cups and use refillable ones with lids instead.
Keep reuseable bags in the car for grocery shopping and replenish them weekly.

Whether it's doing a little or doing a lot, the best way to affect change is to let others see you doing it with a great attitude.
