Ways To Live Green Without Spending A Dime

So all your friends are talking about their cool “Green” efforts and it leaves you scratching your head and wondering how you even start to live green. Until the last few years it the environment wasn’t something that the average person thought much about. But with new studies showing the damage that we are doing to our environment and the ozone it really is everyone’s responsibility to take better care of our planet. Don’t panic! There are some very simple things that you can do that will make a huge impact on the world that you live in.

1. Use re-usable cloth shopping bags instead of plastic bags
2. Recycle! This is the easiest thing you can do. Separate plastic, paper and glass from your everyday trash and send it to the recycling center each week.
3. When you run errands, try to run them all on one trip. This saves gas and creates fewer emissions.
4. Instead of buying brand new items such as clothing or furniture, buy used! Or recycle unwanted items with family and friends. This is an excellent way to cut down on waste!

The fun thing about living “Green” is its contagious. When you see others living that way you will want to make the effort too and in turn you will inspire others around you. Once you get started you will find easy ways to make simple changes in your everyday life and before you know it your family will be living green!
