Over at Planet Green, Matt McDermott describes the approach to green shopping demonstrated by Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid:
- Is it reusable?
- Is it biodegradable and/or recyclable?
- If it's none of the above, don't buy it.
- Can you pronounce the ingredients? If not, stay away.
- How did it get here? Locally produced is best; after that, ship, train, truck, plane. (Recent studies, though, have shown that the impact of shipping is greater than was thought: More information here.)
Check out Matt's full post for details and commentary.
