  Now, NBC Universal is proud to present Green Week 2009.With a new theme and message of "Green Your Routine," Here at NBC and NB C.com we celebrate our talent in the "The More You Know" PSA campaign, presenting green-themed tips in several of our daytime life, among several other features here on the "Green Your Routine" site.

  Fashion & Beauty

  Throw a clothes swap party! Dying for that sweater your friend wore the other day? Well, maybe she'll trade for that old T-shirt you have.Here's a website that helps you organize a swap party(www.swapstyle.com), or just plan your own!

  Go natural with organic make-up.Applying unnatural products directly on your skin wasn't exactly what nature intended.Try switching to a line of organic make-up and cosmetics for a different way to bring out your natural beauty.

  Work

  Print smarter.Printing and copying can be one of the most costly operations in any office.To save on ink and paper costs, print double-sided and try to fit more than one page on a sheet.More printing tips can be found here:lifehacker.com

  Turn off your computer.Do you leave your computer on overnight? If so, you're using up a good amount of electricity.When you can, try turning off your computer and the power strip it's connected to.If you can't, at least shut off your monitor.

  Transportation

  Organize a carpool.There are many benefits to carpooling(拼车).You save on gas, reduce wear and tear on your car, and you get to ride in the HOV lanes.Get connected with your neighbors and co-workers to start sharing rides and check out this website for more tips:www.erideshare.com.
