If going green is the foremost thing on your mind this Valentine’s Day, you’ve probably got some more important issues to resolve. *wink, wink*
That said, it’s ok to let it be about the 3rd or 4th thing on your mind.
Here’s 4 ways you can go green this Valentine’s Day…
“Coffee is the world’s second most traded commodity after petroleum. That’s 2.5 billion pounds every year”, according to YourEcoSource.com.
As a result, our beloved coffee takes a huge toll on the environment–from deforestation of the world’s rain forests to shipping costs.
So what can we do to reduce our coffee stained footprint while simultaneously sip a WONDERFUL cup o joe?
The answer: Â BUY LOCAL.
As we’ve often talked about here at the Fun Times Guide to Living Green, it doesn’t always cost a lot to take steps towards going green.
Earlier this month I wrote about a .99 cent reusable canvas bag from Publix, helping us free ourselves from a dependency on plastic bags.
Thanks to the response and comments on that post, I thought I’d pass on 4 more .99 cent canvas bag options.
Some of these even resolve some of the common complaints of carrying reusable canvas totes!
A recent post from LifeHacker highlighted a set of 4 canvas bags that would run you $24!!
Yikes, though they do accomplish the same purpose, I’d rather stick to the .99 cent range myself.
So what are some options under a buck that not only get the job done, but simultaneously avoid looking completely utilitarian? (Let’s be honest, canvas totes are becoming one of the hottest accessories to be seen with.)
Everyone loves a nice, warm, cozy fire on a cold winter day… but what about the environmental impacts of it?
If that’s a concern you and I have in common, check out the Java-Log.
The Java Log has been featured in Time Magazine, the New York Times, Oprah Magazine, on the Ellen Degeneres show, and many more media outlets.
So why is everyone raving about “the world’s most innovative and eco-friendly coffee fire logs”?
What’s the least known corporation that’s been offsetting its environmental impact for the last 14 years?
Answer: The NFL.
Who knew? Obviously not me.
This year is actually the 2nd year in a row that the SuperBowl will run on 100% renewable energy. Wow, chock that up to yet another fact I didn’t know.
I have to ask, why is the NFL not promoting this more and how else will this year’s SuperBowl go green?
Let’s find out…
Ever wanted to live green by purchasing some reusable shopping bags for those grocery store runs but don’t want to pay $15 for each of them?
Publix has your solution…reusable grocery bags for .99 cents!!
Some of my and my wife’s friends gave us our Christmas presents in a couple of these bags and then my wife came home with another one after a trip to the store. When she showed me the receipt (and that is the actual receipt pictured), I couldn’t believe it!
