Green Friday

Shopping on Black Friday means great deals, right? Here are some ways to make it a little more eco-friendly, too:

  • Use your own shopping bags (I love those Chico bags, as you know. They fold up small until you need them).
  • Shop consignment stores, thrift stores, and/or local handmade shops (or try Etsy.com for handmade goods - if you pick a local artist, you won't feel bad about fuel spent shipping your choices).
  • Make your own gifts - upcycle and get creative.
  • Choose experiential gifts. An animal lover will love a Zoo pass (and Zoo Boise will love you for thinking of it!), scientists love the Discovery Center, and artists could spend hours at the Boise Art Museum.
  • Carpool. Make a day of it, spend time with friends, and save gas and emissions.
