10 Easy Ways to Green Up Your Life
May 30th, 2008
- Eliminate paper statements from your bank, utilities, and credit card companies by switching to online
- Practice the three Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- Paper or plastic? Neither - bring your own reusable bags to the grocery store
- When purchasing products, look for items made from recycled materials
- Buy local and reduce pollution and fuel use
- Switch to natural cleaners without the harsh cleansers, such as Caldrea
- When showering, turn off the water while lathering and shaving
- Wash loads of laundry on cold water setting
- Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use 75% less energy than regular
- Save paper by adjusting margins from 1″ to .75″ and use both sides - I was able to purchase a duplexer for my all-in-one printer, which makes using both sides easy; I just love this feature!
