Susan asks…
What are the best methods of shopping to stay green and eco-friendly?
For clothing and other non-food items, I think it’s best to buy used at thrift shops, yard sales, book sales, etc. Then it’s good to buy recycled products at stores, so at least you aren’t wasting gas having something shipped to you on a truck. Then order recycled goods on the Internet, followed by buying non-recycled items at a store. The worst would be ordering non-recyclible stuff from the Internet. Am I on the right track here?
The Expert answers:
Make your own h/hold cleaners, polishers , by buying white vinegar, baking soda, ammonia and start from there, look up internet for handy hints. Have fun

The Expert answers:
It’s very hard to be completely eco friendly living in any built up area, however there are things you can do
with cars, make sure the person driving (or when you do drive) isn’t driving too fast, an economic car can still burn a lot of fuel if you drive it to it’s limits and an uneconomic car driven at a normal speed will be more economic, although if possible walk or take public transport
don’t use any unnecessary electricity, make sure you turn your lights off and don’t leave your TV on when you’re not watching it
same goes for heating in winter, don’t turn it up too high, keep it a bit lower and wear a jumper
shower instead of having a bath and don’t spend too long in the shower, just do what you need to do
use stick deodorant rather than aerosols
don’t put your clothes in to wash until you have a full load to save water
wash dishes by hand instead of a dish washer
you can buy quite a lot of fair trade clothing on the highstreet now (if you live in the UK anyway) if not second hand is better than nothing, also donate your old clothes to charity if they’re in good enough condition and if not you can recycle them
recycle everything you can, plastic, paper, tins and cans etc and get a compost heap in your garden
not sure about eco friendly stores but there’s bound to be loads, do a search online for your local area, you can normaly do them on the yellow pages websites and things like that
there are loads of other things, it’s basicaly just being sensible about what you do and what you use
buy your food at local shops or at the very least check where it is from, lots of food in supermarkets comes from abroad so buying locally cuts down on food miles
