Be Takeout-Savvy
Yes, to be really, really green, you would always cook at home with all that wonderful produce from your garden or the local farmers' market. But sometimes, that's not possible. Next time you place an order, say you don't want any paper napkins; if every American gave up one paper napkin a day, we'd save a billion pounds of paper from going to landfills each year. Also decline plastic utensils, individual condiment packets, and chopsticks, the latter of which cost China about 25 million trees a year to make. And ask if you can bring your own container and have them fill it for you. After all, how many packets of soy sauce does one person need?
