Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome. I’m sure we have all heard the expression, "Think Green’. Tonight we are going to talk about ways we can "Act Green" in our everyday life.
    The best place to start, of course, is in the home. Every day, people all over the world are hurting the environment without even knowing it. For example, busy families buy paper napkins and plastic food wrap at the supermarket. This helps them save time on housework, but after these things have been used, what happens to them? They go into the garbage heap. In many places, especially in North America, big cities are running ont of places to throw the garbage. What can we do about it?
    How can we cut down on garbage? Well, we can start using cloth napkins and cloth towels instead of paper towels. When we go grocery shopping, we can choose products that are not "over-packaged". For example, lust week I bought a package of cookies. The cookies were in a bag. There was a plastic tray inside the bag, and then each cookie was in its own little package on the tray in the bag! That’s over- packaging! We should also take our own bags to the grocery store to carry things home in.
