Going green can mean lessening your impact on this lovely little planet we call Earth. Sustaining our environment for future generations to come can be done quite easily with these helpful hints: 1. Buying in bulk can save you money and time. More product for your money means less packaging waste and less fuel spent in driving back to the store for more.
2. Keep technology out of the trash. Most electronic devices need to be recycled properly since they do not decompose in the landfills.
3. Walking and riding your bicycle instead of driving short distances will save you money in gas and save the Earth from the carbon emissions cars produce.
4. Avoid buying bottled water. The plastic bottles create pollution to manufacture and fill, not to mention it is expensive and generates a large amount of container waste. Use a fashionable refillable water bottle instead, and if you do drink from a plastic container make certian it goes into the recycling bin when finished.
5. Stop cleaning your house with poison. Most chemical cleaners are harmful to humans, pets, the environment and can be messy, expensive and toxic. Save money by using such natural products as baking soda, lemon juice or vinegar. Even a little warm water and dish soap can do the trick.
