Easy Ways to Go Green
You may be thinking about trying to live a greener lifestyle but that doesn’t mean you’ve got to give up your Directstartv.com satellite channels or start living without air conditioning. There are some easy ways to ease into being greener and you can start with…
Recycle Electronics: Instead of tossing that old laptop or keyboard consider taking it to a responsible recycler near you. They can dispose of the product properly and repurpose any of the old parts that may be best used in another device.
Change Your Lightbulbs: Switch all your household lightbulbs to CFLs and watch the savings add up. Many energy providers are literally giving them away and even if you have to buy them rest assured you’re saving money and the environment.
Turn off the Tap: When you’re brushing your teeth or shaving, turn off the tap to conserve water. You can save up to 200 gallons a year just by making this simple change!
Eat Local: If you’ve got a farmer’s market or farm stand nearby make a concerted effort to buy local produce. It’s better for the planet and studies have found it to be healthier, too.
