The 2008 Carbon Footprint Diet

Mom•Logic Friend Teensy Green gives us tips on how to help the "Mother of us all," Planet Earth.

Do you know how you personally contribute to global warming?

This new year, calculate your footprint, and then find ways to help reduce it--saving you money and the earth a lot of stress.

Here are the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint in 2008...

Buy Less
Seriously, we know it's tough to say no to kids, but buying smarter means purchasing better products and less of them. Think about what your kids' interests are, and be mindful of what they need as opposed to what they want.

Think Globally, Eat Locally
The less time and energy it takes for your food to get from farm to plate makes a big difference in your carbon footprint. Find local farms in your area from Local Harvest, and you'll be supporting local organic businesses and eating fresher, healthier foods. You may be surprised at what's growing near your backyard!
