You Can Make A Difference
What You Can Do!
What are your school supplies made of? You can buy nontoxic pencils and recyclable notebooks for an eco-friendly shopping and school experience. This encourages more manufacturers to go green with their products. My green backpack is made from recycled plastic bottles, and it's made to last.
Whether you’re working on an art project or painting your home, be sure to buy nontoxic paints and art supplies. There are many available to choose from, and protect yourself with adequate ventilation while working in any fumes.
Precycle--Recycle--ReUse--Repurpose.
Hand it down or give it to charity.

Support your local manufacturers and stores, when you can. Look for the most natural products, you can find. Buying products made from petroleum increases our reliance on foreign oil at a cost much more than just a price tag.
Do you carpool or ride the bus to school and activities? It’s best to save gas and wear and tear on your car as much as possible.
Do you know anyone with respiratory problems like asthma? Be kind to your classmates and teachers by not pouring on the perfumes and colognes. These are not just fragrances-- many have chemical irritants that result health problems.
Although, the U.S. is home to only 4.5% of the global population, it's responsible for over 15% of the world's consumption of wood. So conserve.
