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?

There are simple things you can do this fall and winter to take care of your garden and yard in a responsible and eco-friendly way. These easy tips for going green, will allow you to follow organic and sustainable gardening practices that are beneficial for your garden, the critters, your health, the planet and your pocket book! One of the benefits of an organic, sustainable garden is the connection to the land, to the living and growing organisms, and to a more natural existence. It is working with Nature, not against it. This is eco friendly living and eco friendly gardening! You create an ecological community in your backyard.

Forget about the typical fall clean up. There are plenty of environmentally friendly ways to deal with the garden and yard waste that comes from fall cleanup. However, if you want to protect the environment, resist the temptation to throw your leaves and garden waste into plastic bags and send them to the dump. Leaves and garden waste are biodegradable and you can easily recycle them back into your garden soil.

The changing colors of the autumn leaves are beautiful – until theyre no longer on the trees and instead are covering your yard. Here are a couple of ways to be green with the fall colors. Skip the leaf blower and use a rake. While its a little more labor intensive, raking leaves is better for the environment than the leaf blower. Leaf blowers create a lot of noise pollution, and — if theyre diesel powered — create a fair amount of air pollution as well (unless youre running on bio-diesel). Leave your fallen leaves in your garden beds. They will provide protection and feeding to the soil and the microbes. Remove the excess leaves on your grass and either place in your garden beds so you have at least a one feet deep layer, or put them in your compost.

I actually just responded to another question of yours too a few minutes ago. I’ve been reviewing "green" manuals lately and found something called "Earth4Energy" – It’s a great guide with detailed information on how to build your own solar and wind power. You can check out my full review of it @ http://renewable-energy-info.com/ – Best of luck to ya!
