Here are some great green tips for back to school from Planet Green.

* Take inventory of supplies and clothes that you already have before you go shopping for new items.

* For clothing items, try getting hand-me-downs or buy clothes at a thrift store. If you do buy new clothes get some made from sustainable fabrics

* Have a green attitude about school supplies. Buy the greener options and items made from recyclable material. Also, make sure kids get the maximum out of each product before replacing it.

* Bring a lunchbox. Don't just bring a brown bag, but reuse a safe lunchbox everyday.

* Use green transportation. Try walking or biking if possible. If the school is far away, try and set up a car pool.

* Use these green tips all year round!
