Buying green isn't always easy when you are on a budget. The grocery store can be an endless mess of green noise--making it difficult to decide what's best to do for the environment.

One of the leading UK supermarket chains Sainsbury'sis launching milk sold in a recyclable plastic bag pouch in thirty five of its stores.

The chain expects to have the bagged milk available in as many as 500 stores within the next year.

These are cute bags I designed to use for grocery & daily shopping trips! They are roomy and the long handles make it extremely easy to carry them over your shoulder. The best part is that all profits from sales go to help a family in New Orleans rebuild their home post Katrina. It's a win win situation because you help the environment, and you remind a wonderful family that we haven't forgotten them or the hurricane that left so much damage in its wake.

ChicoBag, a leading eco-friendly company and manufacturer of reusable shopping bags, is proud to have been selected as this year’s official goodie bag for the Peapod Foundation’s A.P.L. Benefit on November 27, 2007 at the Vanguard in Hollywood. ChicoBags are made of lightweight nylon, come in a rainbow of colors, compress into their own tiny, self-contained pouch, and include a carbineer so they can be clipped to a key ring, tossed into a purse, or stowed in a pocket.

For the last 50 years, large food corporations set the agenda on what kind of products end up on supermarket shelves and in the kitchen pantry for millions of people. Today, a small chain of grocers called Hannaford is reversing the tide, with a nutrition system that gives consumers a quick, non-biased rating of the healthiness of the foods they purchase.

Socially responsible trick-or-treaters don't have to dress up like global warming or a carbon footprint to get their message across this Halloween.Organic pumpkins, used costumes and reusable trick-or-treat bags are some ways to introduce a little green into your otherwise orange-and-black holiday.
