Extension Activities

It is very important that small businesses take advantage of green alternatives when purchasing equipment and supplies for their companies. Your family can begin following the same practices. Have a meeting with your family to determine how you can take advantage of the green initiatives of American companies to make “green” family decisions that would be beneficial to the planet as well as to your family.

For example, when buying a family car, you can try to find one that will be environmentally friendly. The Internet is an excellent source of information to find cars that excel in fuel efficiency. Below are some useful sites:

www.edmunds.com for the latest info in new cars

www.carmax.com the largest retailer of used cars gives important information on fuel economy

www.hybridcar.com this useful site for researching the latest news on hybrid cars has as its slogan, “any colour – as long as it’s green”.
