Tip Of the Day
Buy less disposable products. Seems simple, but in this convenience oriented society, not always easy.
Eat lower down the food chain. Depending on how we eat, a lot of fuel (and petroleum for fertilizers) gets used to make our food. Especially with meat. Between the land needed for animals, the emissions they create, and the possible negative health effects to us, there's a lot of reasons to go vegetarian.
Buy less. Increase your awareness while shopping, choose what you'll actually use and/or enjoy beyond the moment of purchase, and it may last long past this season.
