Why My Purse is Green

Because I believe…

  • the fastest, most effective way to stop polluters is by pressuring them in the marketplace
  • women can be the world’s most powerful economic and environmental force if we intentionally shift our spending to the best green products and services
  • women have the power right now to solve many of our most serious environmental problems by using our green purses to make a difference
  • women must act – intentionally, collectively, and with the full force of our purse power behind us – if we hope to leave our children and grandchildren a better world.

    Finding the Right Fuel-Efficient Car

    After all the hype generated at the North American International Auto
    Show
    and the shows that have started touring the country, it can be hard to get the straight scoop on the best "green" car to buy.

    I asked Joanne Helperin, Senior Features Editor at the expert
    car site Edmunds.com, if she had any advice for women who value
    fuel-efficiency in their vehicles. Here's her reply:

    "One of the best ways to impact the environment positively is to buy a
    fuel-efficient car. Fortunately, cars are offering greater fuel
    efficiency than ever before, and the outlook for the future is even more
    promising.

    Joanne says you can find an abundance of helpful advice on the Edmunds.com's Green Car Guide, Women and Family Car Guide and The Driving Woman blog. Meanwhile, here's a short course on finding the fuel-efficient car that's right for you, courtesy of www.edmunds.com.
