Last week, I was fortunate enough to shoot with Christy Beck of Model Environment, a website dedicated to stewardship of the Earth through environmental awareness. Below is a repost of her blog. Thanks, Christy!

Gia used Whole Foods online coupons. Check your local grocery store’s website for their electronic coupons. Coupon Mom is another great resource.
We hope you enjoyed Gia’s tips and your next trip to the grocery store is a waste free one.
Happy shopping!

A good read, Gia. I avoid beverages in cans and bottles, even though I recycle, it’s still wasteful. I’m also a weekly Farmer’s market shopper for certain items. GMOs ugh that’s the worst – corporate greed versus bio-diversity. And I’m also one to buy used clothes. How nice, Gia!
