Green purchasing involves making choices that help the environment by considering a product's entire lifecycle from materials and manufacturing to use and disposal. Some key ways to green purchase include buying durable, energy efficient, used, or recycled products and avoiding excess packaging. Making green choices sends a message to companies that consumers care about the environment.
This document discusses the misconceptions around rod "test curves" and explains that they do not accurately reflect a rod's true strength. It provides examples showing that rods with lower test curves can sometimes outperform rods with higher test curves, depending on factors like the rod's taper, action, and construction. The document advocates evaluating a rod's capabilities by loading it up with weight until it reaches its handle, rather than just considering its published test curve. It also examines different factors to consider when choosing a rod, including its intended use, the fishing environment, and preferred fishing style.
The document introduces the Zend Framework. It discusses that the framework is a collection of PHP classes based on PHP 5 best practices.

This slideshow about responsible consumerism explains the importance of thinking about the effect we have on our world before we make purchases. It depicts the system of consumerism that rules our society at the present time, and suggests a new model for the future. It also explores what being a responsible consumer means, and gives tips in three practical categories how to buy responsibly.
Before purchasing green products, consumers should ask important questions to avoid being misled by false environmental claims, known as "greenwashing". Key questions to ask include who certified the product as green and what standards they used. Common misleading claims include products with only a small percentage of recycled content or claims that a product helps earn LEED certification points without considering overall building practices. It's important to consider a product's full ingredients, manufacturing process, transportation impacts and end-of-life disposal to determine if it truly has benefits for both people and the environment.

7 steps towards sustainable office cultureHonest Coffees
The document outlines 7 steps towards creating a more sustainable office culture. The steps are: 1) Remember to turn off lights when leaving a room to reduce electricity usage and costs; 2) Shut down computers and office equipment each day since they use almost as much power when idle as in use; 3) Buy recycled products and encourage reusable items to reduce waste; 4) Print double-sided and reuse paper to reduce paper usage; 5) Make recycling bins as accessible as trash bins to increase recycling; 6) Provide bike racks to encourage greener commuting; 7) Order fairtrade and organic items to build an ethical culture of sustainability.
We all want to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. It can be quite confusing to know what to do in practice to be more sustainable. This article will cover a wide range from the definition of ‘sustainable’ to the ways we can all adopt a sustainable lifestyle.
The 5 R's technique of waste management involves rethinking consumption habits, reducing waste, reusing items, recycling, and repairing items. Rethinking means finding ways to conserve resources by changing how products are used, such as using rags instead of paper towels. Reducing means buying items with less packaging in bulk and concentrated forms. Reusing means using items like reusable bags and refillable containers. Recycling means participating in community recycling programs and properly separating materials. Repairing prolongs the life of items and diverts waste.
Buying used goods not only save you some money when compared with what a new one costs. But, it also encourages reusing which is sustainable for the environment. To learn more watch the attached presentation file.
Consumer buying behaviour for laptop’sNitesh Wadia
The document summarizes the stages of the consumer buying process. It discusses the key stages as:

The document encourages adopting these small changes to help the environment while saving on energy costs.
The document discusses the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste) and its environmental impacts. It notes that e-waste contains valuable but also harmful materials, and that the life span of electronics is decreasing due to advances in technology, leading to more e-waste. The e-waste is polluting due to toxic heavy metals in components and improper disposal practices, especially in developing countries where e-waste is often dumped. Proper e-waste management through reducing waste, reusing electronics, and responsible recycling is needed to limit environmental degradation and health impacts from this waste stream.
The document discusses the 3 immutable laws and best practices of e-waste management: 1) Responsible management requires a comprehensive audit trail, as even inert materials can be hazardous; 2) De-manufacturing should be a last resort, and environmental responsibility extends to final disposition; 3) Highest use is best use, as working units provide greatest benefit if reused. It also outlines the 5 essential e-waste best practices of centralizing, sanitizing, optimizing value, scrutinizing disposition, and analyzing audit trails.
The document discusses the origins and history of green tea. It originated in Southeast Asia and was first used medicinally in China in 2737 BC. It was later used as currency and demand grew as farmers began cultivating it. By the 1850s, England was consuming over 80 million pounds annually. Green tea is grown on plantations in climates with heavy rainfall and elevations between 3,000-7,000 feet. The active compounds in green tea are polyphenols called catechins that may provide health benefits such as cancer prevention and weight loss. Current studies show green tea may help reduce body fat and LDL cholesterol.

The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization set a goal in 1996 to halve the number of hungry people in the world by 2015. There are currently 842 million hungry people globally, with the majority living in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Agriculture is the backbone of the economy for 75% of hungry populations. Providing farmers with access to training, markets, fertilizer, and improved seeds would be more effective and cheaper than sending food aid. While some food aid will still be needed for disasters, wars, and droughts, supporting agriculture can help communities produce their own food to feed themselves and sell surplus.
The document outlines 8 types of waste that should be eliminated: motion, waiting, transportation, overprocessing, overproduction, defects, unused inventory, and unused human capacity.

Conservation Challenge!
EPA’s Resource Conservation Challenge (RCC) calls on all
Americans to prevent pollution, promote recycling and
reuse, and conserve energy and materials.
Achieving these goals means adopting a resource conserva-
tion ethic, purchasing more wisely, and using products that
are easy to recycle and are made of recycled materials.
