Buying
Green
Buy
local, organic products! Buying
cheese from France and water from Fiji may be chic, but the bigh
energy costs for transportation will surprise you. Transporting
products accounts for 20% of our greenhouse gases. When
you shop, read the label. How close to home was it made?
Fresh,
locally grown food is simply the best! Find the farm nearest you and
enjoy its produce.
If you
buy paper, try recycled paper. The good quality will surprise
you. Purchasing recycled paper saves precious trees that filter air and
water, and protect land. One tree stores a ton of carbon in its
lifetime!
Buy
local first! Buying from local merchants not only benefits
our community economically, but also builds a sense of
community. Looking for
a nearby shop to find environmentally-responsible products? Try Perfectly
Natural at Shaw's Plaza on Route 20 in Sudbury.
