Environment Sci

To prepare for this Discussion:

• 
  
• Review the three Web sites—Caring Consumer, Practical Environmentalist, and Pristine Planet—on environmentally friendly and ethical businesses, located in the Learning Resources.
  
• 
  
• On these sites, determine what businesses, on a local, national, or international level, you already know of or recognize that follow environmentally friendly practices, what those practices are, and how they improve the environment.
  
• 
  
• Reflect on how you can develop consumer habits that meet your needs while simultaneously protecting the environment.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 an explanation of at least three changes you can make to your daily routine to become a responsible consumer. How easy or difficult might you find it to make these changes? Provide at least three businesses that follow environmentally friendly policies. Discuss why you believe these businesses are eco-friendly.

Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to this week's Learning Resources or to something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.
