//***Focus Questions: Are there ways of doing business and consuming/living that are better for people and the environment? What are they?***//
Let me introduce you to our group... we are worrying about using too much plastic, about all the trash in our landfills, and about the biodegradable products. We are tying to find solutions to those problems and whether they work or not. As consumers, we believe that we should help out our environment and our wallets. Instead of using plastic, consider using biodegradable utensils. We have a way of working on the efficiency of using biodegradable products to save the Earth while also saving money. Landfills are overflowing and we have to realize that we need to do something, possibly to strive towards zero waste. Let's make a change! If you want to learn more visit
