Easy ways to go green at the grocery store
One of the biggest, and simplest, ways we can all start going green is to start eating greener. It's nice because there are so many options, but that very fact is also what makes it so intimidating and difficult if you're new to the whole idea. But don't worry, baby steps work! Here are some super easy ways to eat greener:- Coffee Look for the following "seals of approval": the Fair Trade seal, the Rain Forest Alliance seal, the Bird Friendly seal, and the USDA Organic seal.
- Fruits and veggies Buy organic whenever possible, try to stick to locally grown and "in season" varieties, and remember that you don't have to put each different kind in its own separate plastic bag.
- Chocolate Look for the Fair Trade seal and the USDA Organic seals (chocolate can be more likely than other foods to use forced labor and pesticides).
- Salad Dressings Look for the USDA Organic seal and avoid synthetic fats like soybean oil and partially hydrogenated anything.
