Introduction
Avoid buying food or household products in plastic or styrofoamcontainers whenever possible. (They can't be recycled, and don't break down in the environment.)
Think twice about buying "disposable" products. (They really aren't disposable and are extravagant wastes of the world's resources.)
Buy paper products instead of plastic if you must buy "disposables." They break down better in the environment and don't deplete the ozone layer as much.
Check the energy rating of major appliances you purchase. Buy only the most energy-efficient models.
Ask questions... don't buy products, such as styrofoam, that are hazardous to the environment or manufactured at the expense of important habitats such as rain forests.
Buy locally-grown food and locally-made products when possible.
Don't buy products made from endangered animals.
