Green behind the ears

Ever gone to someone’s house and saw all the lights on, no recycling going on or noticed other wasteful habits? If you have trouble talking to your friends or relatives about the importance of saving the planet and its resources, you can try bribing them. During this economic crisis, I’m sure your friends and family will appreciate saving much-needed dough when you give them so-called “green” starter kits. The Zola Goods kit includes a low-flow showerhead, low energy light bulb, and a power strip. For students, the Green Office kit contains recycled notebooks, folders and other non-toxic school supplies. Pretty soon they’ll see that going green WILL save them some green.
