Shopping Green

Well hello there!!!

I hope you all had a very green week during Earth Week! So, for my team's final project, we decided that each team member would focus on a room in the typical house, and try to recreate a model of how that room would look like in 2020. Completely green and sustainable of course! I stumbled upon this really cool website called "Tree Hugger". This website is great because not only does it go into vast detail on everything green, ranging from architecture to travel and nature, but it also shows ways of life that are completely green through green shoping lists, and the basic rules of going green. This website is perfect for our group becasue it shows us actual household items that can be purchased at green places. Who ever knew that there are green laptops and sofas???

This is the link: http://www.treehugger.com/buygreen/?campaign=th_nav_buygreen



In my opinion, websites that offer green shopping lists are the critcal for a green movement to seriously take place. Many consumers would like to turn green, but do not know where to find the products that they are looking for. Thanks to websites like these, it is easy to make a difference. Hope you all have fun shopping green!

Peace,
Fiona

  1. This is a really cool post! I never realized there were so many options for going green. I think its interesting that this concept still appeals to the consumerism of America, yet it is helping the problem by providing eco-friendly options. Great post!
