Behind the Greens

GOING GREEN

MONEY MATTERS

  • Green Plastics

HOUSE & HOME

BEHIND THE GREENS

CONSCIOUS CONSUMER

  • Juicing the Waste Stream
    If there's juice in your child's school backpack, it's more than likely that it's stored in a paper-and-foil aseptic package, complete with a colorful cartoon logo. Although aseptic packaging was invented to safely ship foods without refrigeration—a feature that has helped feed many people in the developing world—it is more familiarly used in the U.S. for convenience drinks. And while some environmentalists applaud the merits of aseptics, a number of important questions remain.

TOOLS FOR GREEN LIVING

  • Funny–and Fashionable–Finds
    Funny green tees; eco-friendly sweets for your sweetie; bath products that preserve the rainforest (really!); the second and more fashionable life of the inner tube; ties to get you talking; and kid-powered toys. In the book aisle, find your green path, ride along with the whale warriors, raise water consciousness, start a green Bible study and meet business people who have gone from corporation to conservation.
