Instead of shopping for software at the store, simply download what you need directly from those clever folks on the Internets. You'll save resources, as well as time and fuel.

CDs are made out of nonrenewable petroleum products, and are difficult to recycle. They are placed in plastic jewel cases, stuffed into boxes with manuals, and wrapped in more plastic. Around the world, more than a billion unwanted computer disks are tossed out each year, reports ElectronicsRecycling.org. Millions of packaging boxes are also cast off.

So purchase and download software from the Internet. You won't have to drive, the manufacturers won't have to ship to the stores, and you can relax.
