The Green Industry

I'm at a conference for work this weekend discussing veterinary management topics. The presentation today was about going green in our practices (which is awesome). In addition to veterinary specific ideas, I heard of a few good resources that everyone can use in their daily lives. Check them out!

www.ecobusinesslinks.com
Find businesses that sell eco-friendly products - broken down by product type.

www.cdrecyclingcenter.com
Load your CDs onto you iTunes then send your discs in for recycling.

www.myfootprint.org
Fill out your profile and then find ways to reduce your footprint in ways that really make a difference.

www.earth911.com
Find places near you that recycle specific items (batteries, certain plastics #'s, electronics...)

Call it a fad, but the more people become aware of and use these green options, the more available and cost-effective they will become. Free trade is a powerful system - let's use it to the earth's advantage!
