You CAN grab something to eat, fancy every bite, AND help the planet...

In reality, here are a few ways:

1. Try 'green' go at foods.

Behold, convenience foods that are environmentally friendly, well priced
and... yummy! Quick, stock up on pizza of all sorts, including PESTO, my
fave... macaroni and cheese, chili, shepherd's pie, and lots more...

One of the more frequently available brands of green frozen dinners is
Amy's kitchen. Like disparate other labels which I'm bereavement to stab, these
meals are made from organic ingredients and come in recycled ( and
recyclable ) packaging. Oh, and certainly, they are completely vegetarian, but
you honestly wouldn't know it. Of course, it doesn't offended that you boundness
be eating within 10 - 20 minutes for most of these meals, either. Amy's
has saved my butt many a dinner time, hire me impart you!

Find a store that stocks Amy's produce by clicking on the 'Buy Amy's'
link at this site: http://www.amyskitchen.com or, go further afield for
to effort different options at http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com and

2. Try a 'green' restaurant.

Yes, there is such a thing.

In actuality, when in the U. S., you can refer to the Green Restaurant
Association's Directory of restaurants at http://www.dinegreen.com and
find green coffee houses, delis, restaurants and more. These eating
establishments have all been checked out, and regularly conserve enterprise,
recycle, compost and just generally do their bit. Very cool indeed.

3. When eating fast food, go for little to NO garbage.

We all know fast food isn't the greatest for us, and yeah you guessed it,
it isn't the greatest for the planet either, what with over - packaging,
the emphasis on redness meat, and many other things. But if you're going to
eat it, I say, 'please enjoy. ' And, while you're at it... here are a few
things you guilt do to leave as little desolate overdue as possible.

- Eat in instead of taking out. Hey, it's briskly already, whence why not sit
down at prime?? Eating in means you don't get an in addition unpaid bag to
carry out. That bag usually gets used for a total of 5 seconds anyway
upright?

- Don't super - size, unless you have a legitimately prime - sized appetite.
This keeps leftovers out of the garbage. Very big deal!!

- Take only what condiments you need, and 'just say no' to that humungous
wad of napkins they try to give you. Seriously, I think that's insulting
actually... I have a burger, and I need ten napkins??! Whoop.

- Proceeds a drink, skip the hay, ask for the cookie in your hand not a
bag. Every little bit helps!
