Share & Voice: Eco-Friendly Clothing Options

This is a very interesting video and article about Sproutlings store in Duluth specializing in eco-friendly products for children. I think it is great that we have an eco-friendly clothing store in Duluth. Hopefully this kind of clothing store becomes more popular and more people start buying eco-friendly clothes.

Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 1: My SMART Goal

1. I will drink 10 cups of water every day, 7 days a week.
2. This lifestyle change is eco-chic because I am going to carry my water bottle every where with me and I am not going to buy bottled water. Not buying bottled water will save the environment from the trash and recycling process.
3. I chose to change this behavior because I need to drink more water during the day. Sometimes I forget to have my water bottle with me and I buy bottled water. To change this behavior is important to me because I want to be more eco-friendly and not buy bottled waters.
