Excerpt:
If you’re looking for ways to be friendlier to the Earth, green shopping is a great way to accomplish this goal. By carefully choosing everything that you consume, you can reduce energy usage and pollution. Conscientious consumerism also encourages manufacturers to make more environmentally-friendly choices as more people shop green.

Excerpt:

• Buy fewer things. Do you really need to own that CD? A pay-to-download site gives you the same music, but without the product packaging. This also frees up some space in your home, which is rarely a bad idea.

• In many cases, used items are just as good as new ones. If you buy gently-used products, you’re keeping them out of landfills and lengthening their usefulness. Used DVDs, clothes, small appliances, et cetera can all be just as usable and enjoyable as their new counterparts.

Excerpt:
• Don’t throw away old things unless you have no other choice. See if your city has recycling facilities for things like plastic, paper and metal. You can also donate gently-used items to thrift stores and charity shops, or have yard sales. When you’re tired of a DVD or CD, consider trading with friends or family members. Another option is to find new, creative ways to use items.

If you think before you buy, and shop wisely, you can make a difference to the planet. Shopping green will also alert manufacturers to the increasing need to produce earth-friendly products. The more green shopping we all do, the more green products these companies will produce for us.

You can also help the effort by writing or calling manufacturers that produce green products. Letting these companies know that you’re supporting their efforts will encourage them to continue offering these products and, in many cases, make stronger efforts to serve you even better in the future.
