Needless to say, with the very word of Diwali I find the spirits go high in my Hindu friends...there seems to be an adrenaline rush with time nearing Diwali which one can see in the colors, hustle-bustle of the crowd in shopping malls, savories being spicy and sweet tingling tongue to passerby on seeing the busy road-side shops and winter flowers of all kinds drenching the sweaty smell of the crowd.

Here, I am blessed this year to write a few tips on Green Shopping following the Green Concepts that I wrote last year:

A few things to mind while you do your seasonal shopping to make it "Go Green":

1. Carry your bags - jute shopping bags that you can avoid as many plastic bags as you can in all the shops you shop, save on your time, money, luggage, and travel.

2. Plan your shopping to the maximum you can - the least anyone can do is to decide to shop which one first to begin and finish your day out with where you dine last, your shopping route - not only saves your day and time but traffic for others.

3. Try to buy stuff that you will need only and are more "green" - like made from natural products, biodegradable, and energy-efficient.

Happy Go Green Shopping!!!
