Shopping Game:
• Visit an online grocery store, such as Walmart.ca
• Every day I drink from water bottles, I buy shopping bags for 5 cents when I go to the store, I use paper towels to clean, I buy coffee from Tim Hortons, and I have an alarm clock that uses batteries.
• What can I do to save money or save the environment? Whoever has the most money at the end of the game wins
