Share FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Back to School in Eco-Friendly Style |
ROCHESTER, MI, August 19, 2010 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- The August 2010 issue of The ULS (Use Less Stuff) Report is out, featuring ways to save environmental and economic resources when readying your kids to go back to school. Emphasis is on use of recycled materials and being "greener" when packing lunches. According to Editor Bob Lilienfeld, "Just by spending an extra 2 minutes a day to pack lunch for 2 kids, a family can save $2 a day, or over $325 a year! Simply switch from single-serve, disposable packaging to larger, more economical sizes of fruits, vegetables, cookies and crackers. Then put these items in reusable containers."
The August issue also discusses whether packages made from bio-polymers, or containers claiming to be biodegradable or compostable, are as sustainable as they are purported to be. The ULS (Use Less Stuff) Report is published monthly, and its website is rated #1 by Google, Yahoo! and MSN for searches relating to waste prevention and source reduction. Editor Bob Lilienfeld also hosts the monthly TV segment Use Less Stuff on Fox. The current ULS newsletter is at http://www.use-less-stuff.com/Archive/ULS-Report-V10N4.pdf.
