You’ve spent the entire summer trying to live a little greener, now put it into practice by making a resolution or two for the upcoming school year.
1. Pack your lunch – Although cafeteria hot foods are a great way to get a balanced meal, many children are faced with an array of disposable choices in the a `la carte line. Save your money and pack a green lunch each day this year!
2. Bike to school – Save gas and the ozone this year by having your older children ride their bikes or walk to school. Just make sure to have them wear a helmet!
3. Bring a friend along – Not only will it make your walks more enjoyable, but enlisting a friend to join you in your move to a greener school year is a great way to spread the word.
4. Re-use your supplies from last year – If you invested in a nice backpack last year, chances are it still has a few years left in it. Don’t buy all new just because everyone else does!
5. Shop the Resale Shops – Vintage clothing is in! Give old clothing new life by sewing on updated patches or using other altering techniques. You just may start a new trend!

Till next week…live green!
