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?
