5 Easy Steps on Going Green
1. Bag It When you go out shopping, bring your own reusable bags. This preserves resources by cutting down on the huge number of paper and plastic bags that are discarded after a single trip. I love the “World Feed Bag”.The FEED bag is a product of the United Nations World Food Program, and was designed to raise awareness and funds for hungry children.Each FEED bag sold will provide a school year of meals for one child in need and give them the hope of an education and a regular meal. It is sold exclusively on amazon.com for $60. http://www.amazon.com/World-Food-Programme-Feed-Natural/dp/B000M3OP6A%3FSubscriptionId%3D19BAZMZQFZJ6G2QYGCG2%26tag%3Dsquidooa145438-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000M3OP6A If your looking for something less expensive… Most grocery stores carry their own version of resusable bags for .99 each.A single plastic bag takes 500 years to decompose in a landfill. Make a difference and spend .99 on a reusable bag! 2. Save Energy, Save $ There are many ways to trim those electric bills. Wash your laundry in cold water instead of hot, line dry your linens, and use a toaster oven for small heating needs instead of a bigger electric stove. Open windows to let the light in, turn off unneeded lights and appliances, and unplug unused electronics. By now you've probably heard that lighting is responsible for about 11 percent of a home's energy bills. And you've probably heard thata compact fluorescent bulb uses about 75 percent less electricity than an incandescent.However, no bulb saves energy like one that's turnedoff.So flip the switch. 3. Save on Gas Every gallon of gasoline you burn produces 19 pounds of carbon dioxide, so it pays to conserve (in more ways than one). Your car will work more efficiently if you obey the speed limit and avoid rapid, unnecessary acceleration. Keep your tires properly inflated and get regular tune-ups. We live in an impatient world, so we know it can be painful. But obeying the speed limit saves gas. So does maintaining a constant speed:Rapid acceleration and braking can decrease fuel economy by 33%. 4. Shop a Local Farmer Shop at your local farmers market. This will help support farmers in your area, so they won't be forced to sell off their land for development, and it will decrease your food miles, meaning less fuel will be used to provide your daily meals. Your food will be delicious and better for you. Spending a Saturday morning at the Farmers Market or local farm is a healthy way to get the kids out of the house and let them be a part of the process. If they choose the foods, they will be more likely to try new and healthier products. 5. Get Smart on Water Drink water from the tap, instead of buying single-use plastic water bottles. Individual plastic bottles require much more energy to produce, store and transport.Barely 20% of those plastic bottles are being recycled, and most are made out of petroleum. Use filters if you are concerned about your local water supply. Buy a reusable bottle to take with you on the go, so you can always refill it from a tap and avoid buying bottled water.Stainless steel is a good choice, because you don't have to worry about the potentially toxic chemicals that can seep out of many plastics over time.Target sells Greenaid Water Bottle for under $20.
