Guidelines 1 to 10 of 10
-
Bring your own reusable to-go containers!
- If you usually end up taking half of your meal home from restaurants,
why not plan ahead and bring a reusable container with you when
you dine out or order take-out food.
-
Buy locally produced goods and services.
- Purchasing local products stabilizes jobs and bolsters the
economy.
-
Dine with others.
- When we sit down to eat a meal with others, it elevates a
daily mundane activity into a more enjoyable occasion. We
have a little time to share our thoughts, some conversation,
and the experience of being together.
-
Don\'t use to-go containers.
- To-go containers are a convenient, but inefficient and
environmentally harmful food storage device.
-
Inform your market that you make eco-friendly purchases.
- Tell the managers and/or owners at the stores and restaurants
where you shop that you are making your buying decisions based on
the environmental impact of products and packaging. They value your input and will make their purchases based on your comment
-
Look for wines made from organically grown grapes.
- If you like to have a glass of wine, make sure it is less
harmful to you and the environment! Organically grown grapes
are better because they do not have harmful, toxic pesticides
on them or in the soil where they are grown.
-
Order your margherita on the rocks!
- Rather than ruin the ambiance with a noisy blender, try your drink on the rocks!
-
Support your local health food store!
- Health food stores provide up with options for healthy eating and offer extremely nutritious foods.
-
Tipping your server
- Food servers rely upon tips for a large part of their income.
Help them out
-
Urge the stores and restaurant you patronize to recycle.
- We as individuals have enormous power to create change in our lives and community, it just takes trying. Insisting that the
places you shop at recycle to keep your repeat business, shows the real power of the consumer.
