Go Green tips for November 2nd

Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Tuesday, November 2nd:

• Keep recycling in mind when you make your purchases. How a product is packaged says a lot about how a company feels about the environment!
• You might be able to afford it, but does that justify the investment of brand new ski equipment? You can get used gear at a huge savings to your wallet and the environment! Or just rent your equipment, it’ll save you from having to schlep it from the car!

We’ve all heard of random acts of kindness. Those are great things to practice, I encourage them of my kids everyday. But, why not up the ante to random acts of green? Those, I also expect. Nothing huge: little ways or steps that we all can take towards a greener tomorrow. They can be achieved by sacrificing that steaming, hot, long soak in the shower for a short, luke warm showering experience. Maybe reusing that large yogurt container instead of immediately tossing it into the recycling bin; or turning off the water while you brush your teeth. Got some errands to run this week, your random act of green could be condensing them to one evening, so you use less gas. See? These aren’t king- sized, life altering leaps we’re taking, just small steps that add up to wonderful examples for our kids to follow later. They watch, they learn and they’ll live a better life as a result. Random acts of green, I’m all about ‘em on The Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
