With Thanksgiving only two days away, Green Tuesday is dedicated to keeping you educated about your turkey feast!

Going Green: Silent Killers
Nov 13 2012
Yesterday when I was asked the ever-so-familiar question of
“paper or plastic?” at the grocery store, I started to wonder how much of an
impact these plastic grocery bags have on the environment. Although these
little bags have many uses, I am virtually unable to use all that I collect. I
know that millions of Americans, like me, opt for plastic each day when they
make their purchases. In fact,... read more

Going Green: Combat Clutter
Oct 16 2012
It has been estimated that the average American wears about
20 percent of their clothes 80 percent of the time. This statement rang true
for me this morning as I shifted through the many clothes in my closet and

many Americans are affected by heavy advertising and the desire to have the
latest-and-greatest items; however... read more
