Are you environmentally friendly? What is a sustainable lifestyle?
   

Everyday you have to make choices, and the options have different impacts on the environment. For example: the transport you choose to go to school, the food you eat, the time you take having a shower, or the temperature you keep your home. Having a sustainable lifestyle means you choose the options that least affect the environment. What can you do? Whether you are a student, a parent or a teacher, here are some "green" tips to help you become Earth-friendly.
   

In the end it is your choice... Be the change you want to see in the World!
