How to Be
EcoTrendy
10 Simple Tips for Living a Greener, More Organic Lifestyle.
Reuse, Reuse, Reuse... water bottles, shopping bags, boxes,
printing paper, sandwich bags, etc...
Get Back to Basics... choose locally grown whole foods, use
electronic paperless services, decrease your number of cosmetic
and hair products by one third.
Walk, Ride, Carpool... walking or riding a bike is good for you;
carpooling even 2 days a week makes a big difference.
Grassroots... shop at and support local green companies.
Read Labels Carefully... make sure products you use contain
pure 100% ingredients free from mixes or blends. Simple
is usually better. Watch out for "green-washing" and other
marketing tactics used by quasi-green companies.
Know the Alternatives... they now have corn-based plastics
(PLA) and sugar cane paper, perfect for disposables and packing.
100% essential oils are a safer, cleaner, better alternative to
chemical fragrances.
Use Less... turn off the faucet while washing or brushing, lower
your thermostat, and use fluorescent light bulbs.
Traveling... reuse your towels and sheets at hotels, only order what
you will eat, and of course, recycle your trash (even on that road trip).
Grains, Fruit & Veggies... it takes a lot of "earth-energy"
to produce meat; seafood is particularly taxing on the earth.
Alternatively choose fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Join A Cause... from the rainforests to animal habitats to global
warming there are many companies and organizations who can benefit
from your support and help. Just choose one, and get started today!
