Stay “Green” This Autumn
Did you know there are many ways to stay “green” in autumn? Here are a few ideas for an eco-friendly fall:
Put your reusable grocery bags right back into the car after you unload them so they are ready for next time.
Avoid using filmy plastic bags for produce.
When you buy your “back-to-school” shoes, ask the retailer to keep and recycle the box.
Take your own reusable coffee cup when you go out, and pack kids’ lunches in reusable containers.
Install a chalkboard in your kitchen to reduce the use of paper notepads for lists and reminders.
Visit thrift shops for great finds on retro kitchenware, furniture etc. Who needs new stuff when all of it already exists out there somewhere?
