Make a difference with Greener Options SM

Making the switch to environmentally friendly products is as easy as shopping at
your closest Carters. The Greener Options program helps you make the right product
choices for the environment and your world. With lots of items available,
your ability to make a difference starts here.

Maintain a beautiful lawn & garden without pesticides.  Plants that are chemically fertilized
may look lush, but traditional fertilizing promotes plants that are more susceptible to disease.
Chemicals from the fertilizer infuse the soil and, ultimately, contaminate our water supply.
Using an all-natural fertilizer balances the pH of the soil, is environmentally safe
and not harmful to animals, plants or you.

Make the switch to CFL bulbs. Consider using compact fluorescent
light bulbs (CFLs).  You’ll lower your electric bill and pay less in the long run —CFLs
last up to 10 times longer than traditional bulbs. To save even more on lighting,
install dimmer switches and use timers, both indoors and out.

What you put on your walls should stay on your walls.  According to the EPA,
indoor air is considered to be one of the top five hazards to human health.
Use low-VOC products for better air quality.

Conserve water and lower your water bills. Install waterefficient showerheads.
With the new low-flow models now available, a family of four can cut water usage —
and yet not feel much difference in water pressure.
