• Recycle Products when possible• Buy Products made from recycled
materials• Re-Use materials and avoid disposable
products (not everything is recyclable)• Reduce the amount we buy (Do I NEED
another pair of jeans???)
• Find products that have less packaging/Buy in Bulk• Use re-usable water bottles.• Shop from environmentally friendly
companies (you’ll have to do some research)• Buy locally produced materials
• Buy Organic Food• Use environmentally friendly
alternatives to household chemicals• Re-useable Shopping Bags• Don’t buy/order more food than you will
actually eat• Eat less red meat (or become a
vegetarian)

extremes• Buy “Energy Star” Appliances• Buy Fuel-Efficient Cars and keep them
in good repair
