Buy Green, Save Green, Be Green on St. Paddy's Day

Instead of just wearin' o' the green on St. Patrick's Day tomorrow, here's something you can do to "be" green and help save the planet. Whatever you buy tomorrow, try to make it "green." And get it on sale, so you'll save "green" as well. For example, my grocery co-op has organic lettuce greens on sale for $2 off a pound. Or you could buy a canvas tote bag, then use it when you shop (bonus points if it's green as well). Of course, shopping at GreenForGood also counts! Or simply do a "green act," like spreading some compost on your garden or recycling those dead batteries you've been collecting. Then if someone tries to pinch you (who you don't really WANT to pinch you!), just tell them you're "being green" all day.
