Won't somebody think of the children? You can save the rainforest, the whales and your guilty conscience while adopting some or all of these eco-friendly suggestions, guaranteed to make your lifestyle healthier and make others think you've lost your damn mind.

Madeleine, a SkinnyScoop list creator, is a witty Canadian blogger who is passionate about all things writing, green, and healthy.
