• Buying local and organic: What are the benefits of “buying locally?” Do urban gardens significantly contribute to our food supply? How can you tell if food is really organic?
• Green living and working: How can you reduce the unwanted mail you receive? What home improvements can make your home greener? What’s more green-friendly: using a dishwasher or washing by hand?
• Eco-friendly autos: Are hybrid car batteries recyclable? How can you convert a car to run on cooking oil? Are there green-friendly taxi cabs?
