The KISS FM Green Team gets around in a Nissan Cube, brought to you by the Natural Food Pantry!

The Natural Food Pantry, with three locations in Ottawa, is Canada's first Gold Certified "Greentailer," incorporating a diverse array of best-in-class green practices. When you visit a Natural Food Pantry, you'll find lots of "green" initiatives, including open ceilings, application specific finishes, energy-efficient lighting and an aggressive waste reduction strategy.

The New 1053 KISS FM wants to hear YOUR tips on how to build a greener Ottawa!

Visit the "Your Opinion" section of the KISS Club, and let us know! Each person who submits a tip will receive 500 points... and we'll highlight some of your suggestions in the weekly KISS Club Newsletter!

To get you started, here’s a few tips from KISS Club members!

"Use vinegar as a substitute for fabric softener. Fabric softener contains many toxins and we wear and sleep in them every day. Vinegar has the added effect of killing most germs and bacteria."
KISS Club Member Debrah

"Add water to near empty soap and shampoo containers to get the last bit out. It helps the bottle last a few more uses. Saves a little money and helps generate a little less land fill."
KISS Club Member John

"Instead of sending drinking boxes, snacks, and sandwiches in ziploc bags with your kids in their lunches, use re-useable drinking bottles and tupperware containers."
KISS Club Member Stephanie
