Green Products on the Web
One of the best ways to support sustainability is to vote with your purchases. Choosing more sustainable
products or products made with recycled material will support more sustainable practices.
Here are web references for purchasing green products that can help you live a more sustainable lifestyle.
These links have been provided by Green Team members and are not an endorsement of these products by the
Green Team project or Acterra. We hope you find these links useful in the event that you are unable to
find the products locally.
These links are arranged according to the order of the chapters in the workbook. Please let me know if
you find any other useful or broken links as we are always looking to provide good up to date information.
Please send links or comments to David Coale at
