When it comes to practicing innumerable and varied environmental measures, Jacksonville, Florida based Winn-Dixie supermarkets are definitely out in the forefront. Many of their innovative measures fall into the “Why didn’t I think of that?” category.

For instance, equipment and parts for routine maintenance of stores and offices are ordered uncrated or unpacked whenever possible, and reused if appropriate, providing the used parts do not affect operational efficiency.

You probably think you know all about health fairs, and you may even have gone to a few and taken “advantage” of the free services they offer: blood pressure screening, blood typing, screening for foot deformities and problems, vision testing, and on and on. They are usually sponsored by hospitals and feature a lot of giveaways, such as refrigerator magnets and brochures with the facility’s logo emblazoned prominently.

Do you know that the reliability of the tests is questionable? And do you know that most health fairs are set up for the purpose of getting you to use (translate: buy) the services of the participating providers?

So the next time you find yourself at a health fair, stay low-key yourself. Make sure the promoters are providing a community service, not just an opportunity for doctors and hospitals to make a quick buck (or several hundred and more) off you.
