Zola: The Art of Living Green Session 1

What if we could change the future by shopping? Every time we shop, it is like casting a vote with our dollars. This means we have a great deal of influence in the economy as consumers. We are a major factor in bringing about positive change! Join me as we take a look at a day in the life of an average American consumer for a step-by-step guide to some of the easy and affordable changes we can make to help the environment. We will also take an Eco Footprint Quiz to analyze our individual impact on the earth and brainstorm fun ways to lighten our step. Beth Remmes, Founder, Zola: The Art of Living Green
