PART TIME GREEN - Staying Green in a recession
Staying Green in a recession
How to maintain a green diet on a budget
Posted by Staff on February 25, 2009 12:36 pm
Cliff Notes Version:
Shop with a plan before you get to the store. If you don't have a household budget, start one now.
Organics. Focus on those areas
where organics make the most sense to you.
Think and Rethink meat. Conventionally raised meat is inhumane, hard on the environment,
and expensive. Adding
meatless meals to your diet using cheap, easy staples such as beans and
rice. If you do buy meat, buy cheaper cuts of organic meat in smaller portions. Cutting out the amount of meat you eat is an easy way to save money.
Shop strategically. Take
your list to the store and stick to it. Never shop when you're hungry.
Cook more. In general, cooking at home is cheaper
and healthier than eating out, and cooking from scratch is healthier
than opening a box.
Grow something. A small garden adds up to big savings.
