Teenie Weenie Greenie™
This week's Teenie Weenie Greenie™ is to make a commitment to yourself to be
informed. Then make the decision that you feel comfortable with and feel good about it.
A good example of this would be to purchase locally grown grapes instead of ones flown in
from thousands of miles away.
