The Green Parent

Whether you’re at home or at work, get in the habit of using both sides of a piece of paper. Kids’ art projects, grocery lists, and messages can give paper a second life. Check with your kids’ school to see if any of your waste (such as jars, magazines, paper towel rolls, newspapers, or plastic bottles) could be used for art projects.

At the store, bring along your own shopping bags; either the plastic bags from your last trip, or better yet, a reusable tote bag.
