North Shore
groups are
going green

ocal organizations are jump-

ing on the eco-friendly band-

wagon in support of the Go-

ing Green on the North Shore
campaign.

North Shore Continuing
Education will be providing par-
ticipants in their classes with
“‘eco-sheets’’ containing en-
vironmental information
speciiicially pertaining to different
courses.

Many merchants are selling Go-
ing Green mugs, and Going Green
shopping bags are now in many
super markets. Make your next
shopping trip plastic and paper
free by carrying your own reusable
bag!

Bring your Going Green mug in-
to any North Shore McDonald’s,
and they will fill it full for 55 cents.
That’s the price of their regular
coffee, but you’il get more to drink
in the Going Green mug!

According to Lydia Chow of ¢

McDonald's, all their restaurants

will fill up your reusable mug or §

wrap your hamburger in paper in-
stead of plastic foam upon request.
