Hello Sactowners,
I am a local resident of the Sacramento region and recently have decided to become a sustainable consumer. For the next few months I will be shopping at local stores, eating at local restaurants, remodeling my house and becoming one with nature to reduce my carbon footprint. I encourage you to take my steps into consideration and to try to reduce your carbon footprint as well.
Sincerely,
The Sacramento GreenGirl
P.S. If you also have tips or suggestions you would like to add to my list please email me at sacgreengirl@gmail.com
Shopping Green
Try your best to avoid shopping at "big box" stores; however there are some items that we all need from these stores so follow this checklist for the items you purchase.
Green Product Checklist
For supporting the environment and local business in California
- Check labels for manufacturing locations, purchase from local manufactures.
- Check that the product is made with biodegradable materials.
- Check that the product is made of recyclable packaging.
- Check that the product isn’t tested on animals
