Being active—running, biking, walking—is a natural and healthy way to reduce pollution and energy wasted by using vehicles. And when playing sports, look for secondhand equipment or products made from recycled and natural materials. Anything you can do to help reduce your carbon footprint matters. Stay active and healthy, have fun and make a difference.

Green fashion aids our efforts to reduce environmental damage. Why not buy fashionable eco-friendly clothes made of organic cotton and natural fibers when you have the chance? Sustainable apparel made from recycled materials helps our environment and makes you look and feel good. Experience the difference natural clothing makes.

Green buildings that are LEED certified are the future. Green construction processes are making a difference. Green architecture helps save consumers money because these buildings are designed to be energy and water efficient. When a building is LEED certified you know there are no volatile organic compounds involved and that you can depend on the indoor environmental quality.

Save money and make your homes more energy efficient. If you are going to remodel- make sure you choose contractors that use green building materials and eco-friendly remodeling practices. Buy energy efficient appliances and fixtures and install solar paneling. All this will not only increase the value of your green home but also help sustain our planet.

You’re never too young to start going green. Organic baby clothes and blankets, and eco-friendly toys are not only soft and snuggly and safe for the environment, but safe for your child as well.

Organic food is known to contain 50% more nutrients, minerals and vitamins than produce that has been intensively farmed. One of the huge advantages of organic fruits and vegetables is that they haven't been doused in pesticides. Organic meat and poultry don’t have the unnatural antibiotics and hormones that are fed to the other animals. You will realize once you taste organic food that the quality is superior and well worth the investment on your health. Support your local organic farmers market and help make an impact on our future sustainability.
