What are you doing to go green?
Kelly & Scott Noto, Point Pleasant
We recently purchased reusable grocery bags to cut down on the plastic.
We now have reusable water bottles.
Kelly drives a Prius.
Organics for the lawn
Were aware and we adapt.
Mark Mangan, Asbury Park
Im still working on ways to go green.
Im driving less. Im more aware when I buy products of their overall effects.
I choose recyclables over items that are not biodegradable.
Mike Mortimer, Wall
I ride my bike. I bought go green magazines, and they use recycled paper. And I recycle whenever possible.
My first car will be a hybrid.
Mary Vignec, Sea Girt
Im not using the supermarket plastic bags. Ive been buying reusable grocery bags. – and I see more people using them, too. It makes sense. The beach is full of plastic and its killing animals.
Father Atkins, Neptune
Well, my wife and I bought those energy saving bulbs and put them throughout the house. Now we hear when you break them they are hazardous. So how can they be both good and bad?
After I read the Coaster each week I pass it along to a friend.
Brian OHea, Asbury Park
Very little. I think that the only thing Im doing is recycling.
The city got me started on it and now Im becoming more aware.
Amanda Giger, Ocean Grove
My friends and I want to start a clothing company. Im all about go-green and save the earth. I started biking and skateboarding more to save gas. Im going to buy a hybrid. If we dont do it, itll be worse for my children.
Kimberly Streit, Bradley Beach & Heather Smith, Asbury Park
Kimberly: I use rechargeable batteries, the curly green light bulbs. I just bought all organic and biodegradable cleaning products.
Heather: I got a reusable water bottle and reusable grocery bags.
In the future, Ill do more.
Jeremy Brown w/Ray & Lenny, Neptune City
Oh, thats easy. Conserve, recycle – thats pretty much it.
Use the energy saving light bulbs. Drive less.
Think about what youre doing. Bring your own bag when you shop.
Think about it.
