SOME DIFFERENT "GREEN TIPS"

JOIN A CSA

With spring approaching, summer cannot be far behind. Consider joining a CSA (Community Support Agriculture) for either the spring and/or the summer season. It's easy, fun and educational. You basically buy a share in a farm and either receive an unknown box of veggie goodies a week or receive an email and pick the veggies you want. It is the perfect time to try out some new stuff. Google "Kale" and see what recipes are available.

BUY MILK IN BOTTLES

This is just like the good old days. Buy the bottled milk and pay the bottle deposit. Once you start, returning the bottle when you are grocery shopping again is easy. It is great tasting, totally recycling (except for the cap) and green!

REFUSE PLASTIC BAGS

When I shop, if i do not have a reusable bag with me, I just take the purchase in arm with my receipt held high out the store. There are a bunch of small reusable bags that you can take with you to use anytime. This is ideal for a visit to the library, grocery, or department store. Keep a bunch of reusable bags in each auto and get in the habit of refusing all plastic.

ULTIMATE RECYCLING

Give blood. If everyone gave blood that could give, there would never be a shortage. You can give every 56 days, receive good snacks and every now and then receive a cool t-shirt. Who could ask for more. Do something good, eat junk food and get something new to wear.........Isn't life grand.
