Six degrees of separation exist, not only between Kevin Bacon and his footloose, fancy-free Hollywood contemporaries, but also with regard to the average consumer and how he or she inevitably lives a greener lifestyle, often without really even trying. You might be an unwitting “greenneck” if you:
- favor a plant-based diet;
- tool around town on a bicycle just ‘cause it’s fun;
- protect your tabletop with old newspapers whenever you engage in a painting or craft project;
- make a conscious effort to support local businesses and farmers markets;
- rock a vintage wardrobe or embrace the fine art of upcycled fashion;
- spend more time in your garden than on your couch (or in front of the computer, for that matter); and/or
- think that handcrafted items are far superior to newly minted big-box merchandise.
- assorted food storage containers for leftovers
- two glass, stainless steel or BPA-free plastic travel mugs and/or water bottles
- two sets of bamboo or stainless steel flatware
- two fabric napkins
- two sets of plates and bowls
