Three Green Shopping Tips to Save Money (And Earth!)

4 10 2007

Make these 3 green shopping tips part of your daily routine and you will not only save money, but the environment too. 

1. Buy products in the largest size you can use; avoid excess packaging

About ten percent of each products costs go to packaging. Buying in bulk not only saves money by eliminating this cost, but one large plastic container eliminates the plastic waste of several smaller ones.

 2. Buy products in containers that you know you will be able to recycle

By choosing products packaged in paper, glass, aluminum, and steel over those packaged in plastic, you can make a significant difference to biodegradable and recyclable waste.

Glass, aluminum and steel packaging also double up as reusable storage containers

 3. Buy reusable and long lasting items

Reusable goods such as cloth versus paper towels, rechargeable versus disposable batteries and electric versus disposable razors save both money and the environment in the long run.

HAPPY SHOPPING :-)
