1. When shopping for wood furniture, look for the Forest Stewardship Counsel (FSC) label. If an item has the FSC stamp of approval, the product has been manufactured in a way that allows the forest it came from to continue to flourish.
2. Think sustainable. We want our environment to stay clean and healthy for future generations. It is vital to think about the impact of products you use today, on tomorrow.
3. Look for recycled products. Who knew you could make a toothbrush from old yogurt containers!? Well you can. Products like this are not only better for the earth, they make us feel good about what we use in our everyday Big Life.
4. Go organic...and not just with your veggies. Think of all the pesticides and other chemicals that may be going into your clothing. Next time you shop, check the label for organic grown cotton and other materials.
5. Clean green energy is what it's all about! Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, biomass and low-impact hydro are efficient ways to reduce the impact of conventional electricity.
