Got Links?

The following tried and true list is the first in a series of collected websites that I suggest you peruse in your quest for green resources (by all means, a partial list!)

Personal & Home:

Find out how consequential YOUR consumerism is:
http://sustainability.publicradio.org/consumerconsequences/

Eat right! (aka, your dollar counts!): http://www.seacoasteatlocal.org/resources.html and http://www.slowfoodseacoast.org/ and http://gimmetheknife.blogspot.com/

Co-Op America’s (now known as Green America's) Responsible Shopper link: http://www.coopamerica.org/programs/rs/

Ever heard of freecycling? http://www.freecycle.org/ Or Craigslist? http://www.craigslist.org/

To stop receiving all those ValPak coupons, fill out their removal form online at: www.coxtarget.com/mailsuppression/s/DisplayMailSuppressionForm and for specific removal of all unsolicited mail, go to: https://www.dmachoice.org/MPS/mailpref1.php?consumerid=35499&status=

Reusable cloth tote bags made from Ecospun® (post-consumer, recycled plastic soda bottles) or unbleached, 100 percent cotton canvas can be purchased at http://www.clothbag.com/ All of their bags are made in the USA!

Use a water filter to reduce plastic water bottles. This is an excellent reference for comparing prices and features of water filters: http://www.waterfiltercomparisons.net/

It never hurts to get refreshed on certain principles!  Keep reading and you'll get some great tips on what to look for and when to look for it!
