Environmental Shopping List for the Grocery Store

  

 

 

It can be hard to remember what grocery store items are either bad for the environment or better for the environment, so here's a little shopping list to remind you:



Laundry Detergent - low phosphate, non-toxic, biodegradable

Automatic Dish Washing Powder or Liquid

Household Cleaners without toxic ingredients; a lot of cleaning products are switching to lemon or other citrus fruits for their natural cleaning abilities.




Paper Products made from recycled materials and not bleached with chlorine: toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, facial tissues, coffee filters
 

 

Vegetarian foods have much less impact on the environment than meat.
