Need to go shopping? And you want to be environmentally friendly as possible? Here are some easy eco friendly shopping tips to going green. With a little advanced planning, it is easy to save time and money when you go shopping. This can be done while using environmentally friendly practices. Environmentally friendly products are easier to find and not as expensive as they used to be. Demand brings price down. Buying with the environment in mind will get easier as manufacturers adopt greener practices and offer greener products.
Going green and green shopping doesnt mean you need to spend the green. To make your shopping greener, whether its for food, going back to school, clothing, furniture, etc. buy only what you need. Take with you eco friendly shopping bags to avoid getting more plastic bags. Check labels and ingredients to avoid chemicals that are harmful to you and the planet and look for environment friendly products. Go for fair trade, cruelty free, vegan, organic, Energy Star, etc. whenever possible. Consider also your transportation to do your shopping. Green options are walking, cycling taking public transit, carpooling, and planning your shopping to avoid driving all over the place.
Here are more eco friendly tips for sustainable shopping. Ask yourself: Do I need this product? Is it non-toxic and safe to use? Is it made from renewable, recycled or post-consumer materials? Is the packaging recyclable or biodegradable? Is the product practical, durable, well made and of good quality? Will it be easy to maintain in terms of labour, time, cost and energy? Can I recycle, compost, re-use or donate the product after its useful life? Can I borrow, rent or buy a second hand product instead?

What are the best ways to turn my regular house into a more eco-friendly green house?
February 11, 2010 - 5:19 pm
I have baseboard hot water heat, and a gas-powered hot water tank. No central air… just window units in the bedrooms. I have a fireplace, but don’t use it much. I live in cold New England. Lots of trees around the house.
I just want to go green, but I don’t want to move. What can I do without spending too, too much money?
going green is a large term many companies use today and it used to widely, mostly for profit. but that does not mean the little people cant go and do a little green them selves. just short of rebuilding a house, you can help by recycling all paper and plastics and glass etc…. then start reducing the amount of electricity you use by using a digital A/C thermostat, change your bulbs from incandescent to compact florescent bulbs (home depot, Lowe’s) (remember to check your local trash company for disposal when they burn out)bad for environment but cheap to use, check your electric company web sites, they usually have great tips on how to reduce power in your home. start using paper bags at the grocery store instead of plastic. all of the things i listed are cheap to start and very inexpensive to do…… going green is not always changing all of the products in house but adjust to help the environment, that alone is going green…
hope this has help you!!!!

How can I make my apartment eco friendly or "green"?
February 8, 2010 - 4:06 pm
I live in University housing which basically means I can’t change anything in terms of appliances, windows, etc.
All of the "green" guides I’ve read suggest that doing those things are the best options which kind of leaves me in a rut.
Aside from just changing my lightbulbs, is there anything else I can do?
Does bamboo change carbon dioxide into oxygen, or does the plant have to be leafy?
Take a look at the HGTV Green Home to get some ideas on products & ways that you can live more green:
