Chocolate Chip Chewy Granola Bars and Dark Chocolate Almond Granola Bars in a large Eco-Friendly Grocery Bag.

My family has stopped purchasing most processed foods as the processing produces a lot of waste and also adds to the cost. If we do buy things that are processed, we tend to choose things that have minimal packaging or recycled packaging. :)
We have always recycled newspapers, plastic, and glass containers. Our community has a recycling truck that comes our neighborhood once a week to make recycling easier. I also use reusable shopping bags whenever I go shopping.

We are living greener by using reusable containers and bottles for school lunches. We also have stopped using an air conditioner all together in the summer to save energy and it's really not that bad. The website showed me that I should learn more about where and how the food I eat is produced. Thanks!
My household buys as few processed foods as possible and we buy products with minimal packaging.

We recycle everything our city accepts and haven't purchased bottled water for over a year, instead we invested in stainless steel water bottles.
We have started with the reusable shopping bags and cut down on soda. It is a start but we will improve with time.
We have eliminated bottled water. We purchased a water filtering system, and everyone keeps their own water re-useable bottle full in the refridgerator.
I have incorporated a ton of 'green' things into our lifestyle, we recycle ALL we can, and we have a compost pile in the side yard...I also try to reuse containers I get in microwavable foods for things like ferret food, condiments, etc...
