RBA Green Tool Kit: Awareness

Living Green

Adopting personal habits that limit our environmental "footprint" is both pleasurable and ethical -- and increasingly popular! "Green living" means buying organic foods, wearing a sweater instead of raising the thermostat, or composting our kitchen scraps.
