Lately, I have made extra attempts to adopt a more "green" lifestyle. I am still taking baby steps here but the older I get the more important it seems to be to me. There have been several changes that I have embraced to begin to make a difference. I have to admit I am not totally "earth friendly" yet but the effort is being made to improve.
(1) I recycle paper, plastics & glass products. This not only ends up being a positive for the environment but it saves me money by not filling up my garbage bins so often.
(2) I have replaced traditional light bulbs with the new energy efficient flourescent bulbs. (This has also resulted in great saving on the electric bill.)
(3) I conserve water by only doing "full" loads of laundry & dishwasher loads.
(4) I use a reusable coffee filter (hey I know its a small thing but it still helps to save some trees)
(5) I drive a fuel efficient car
(6) I buy "some" organic foods
Hey I know that I still have a long way to go but at least I am trying and I am getting better each month. Not only is going green good for the environment but it also ends up being good for your own pocketbook in the long run.
