To make up for last Tuesday, we will post two tips today that advise how to be more green in your day to day life. Each tip is simple, attainable, and will help you lead a more ‘green’ life style.
TIP #2: Borrow and share things with friends. If there is an item that you need only temporarily ask a friend if they have it first before purchasing it. Also, sharing things such as books, movies, newspapers and magazines with friends and neighbors assures that less paper and materials get thrown away.
TIP #3: Buy food from local markets. Each pound of local food that you purchase prevents a quarter pound of climate change emissions. Not to mention, slightly reducing the amount of meat in your diet and replacing it with high protein fruits and vegetables helps to reduce carbon monoxide emissions.
Buying local is important but more importantly is a plant based diet. Each pound of meat or dairy produces more greenhouses gases, after all the produce or grain has to be grown and then FED to the animals, cut out the middle man (the poor animal that has to be sacrificed for your diet) and eat the wonderful, organic local plant based food we have available in our area instead!
