Shift Your Spending and Make a Difference
|
|
The Big Green Purse
"One in a Million" Campaign is
urging a million women to shift $1,000 of
money they'd
spend in a year anyway to green products and
services that can help protect the
environment. It's
important because:
- Manufacturing to meet consumer demand
drives pollution and climate change.
- Pollution and climate change affect our
health and safety.
- If we use our consumer clout to improve
manufacturing, we protect ourselves and the planet,
too.
Because women spend $.85 of every dollar in the
marketplace, we have the clout to make a
difference.
Hybrid cars? Organic food? Safe cosmetics?
Green
shopping has already had an impact.
Women are finding all kinds of ways to swap
out "brown" products for "green."
Erin, a Green Purse Alerts! subscriber,
joined the One
in a Million Campaign at the
beginning of this year. She recently sent the
balance
sheet she downloaded from the Big Green Purse
website to help her track her eco purchases and
report back on her pledge. It only took her
six months
to become "One in a Million." Her secret? She
bought
two water saving toilets for a total of
almost $600, then
made up the difference in organic groceries,
safe
cleansers, and organic potting soil.
For ideas on how you can swap your current
purchases for green ones that would make a
difference, visit the One
in a Millioncampaign web page.

Million yet, join
