Green Matters
Consider the following suggestions from the Environmental Task Force
Must Haves:

- Find them: In all major stores
- Rechargeable batteries:
- From your calculator to your camera you’ll be using tons of batteries throughout the year. Make sure to get your money’s worth by recharging your batteries!
- Find them: In all major stores
- Cleaning Products:

For the Green Sceners:
