My Shopping
Shop with a basket! Little action, big impact. You won’t forget, because it’s a piece of art, you won’t need soft plastic for most veggies and fruit.
Shop with a basket. Do good, feel good, and look good.
My Habits
Think big! We usually think about ‘what’s inside?’ Here’s a different perspective ‘What ends up in your trash?’ Instead of several little containers of plastic and foil, it could be just one container.
Reduce the waste and put money back in your pocket. Bigger is usually cheaper!
My Water
A single quart of Motor oil that seeps into groundwater can pollute 250,000 gallons of drinking water. Save money and the environment and maintain your car at a professional service station. Why let unnecessary runoff like Gas, Oil, Antifreeze and Grease leak into our water bodies.
