The author makes some great points about things to avoid, and what to consider when we make our purchasing decisions.  For instance, don&#8217;t buy a &#8220;green&#8221; t-shirt just to buy something green.  Buy a t-shirt because you NEED a t-shirt.  And lets be honest, unless you&#8217;re replacing the one good white t-shirt in your wardrobe, who really NEEDS a t-shirt.  There&#8217;s energy expended in the manufacture of any product, so think about what you&#8217;re doing and why.<\/p>\n<p>Probably one of the best things we could do to &#8220;go green&#8221; would be to consume less as consumers, or to at least consume smarter.  Check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.moneycentral.msn.com\/SavingandDebt\/SaveMoney\/6FoolishWaysToGoGreen.aspx?page=1\">article<\/a> on MSN for more information.  Could it be that some companies would try to &#8220;cash in&#8221; on going green?  Surely not&#8230;.ha ha ha&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And remember, &#8220;if you&#8217;re not saving money, you&#8217;re probably not saving energy.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found a really good article this week on MSN about being more &#8220;green&#8221;.
