There are a lot of us who are able to save a very big difference of money on just living on the greener side.
It is in fact the best way to contribute into solving the economic, as well as the environmental problems that our flora and fauna is currently facing today.
Many changes could be made when we start on our own, especially when taking things to the next level of change.
All we really need is adjustment, patience and every encouragement that we can possibly get.
Start off by simply saving on gas.
Sometimes, taking a walk or riding a bike may very well help you pay less on gas, and can certainly impact more on your body's health.
Second, fix the leaky faucets that can most probably raise the expenses of your water bills.
You don't want any bills piled up on your desk just because of a month's water leakage.
If you are not very well on simple plumbing, then you can ask a friend or hire someone who can help you with your leakage problems.
Might as well start early then have so much money spent on just a single house problem.
Third, make use of your backyard, and start a small organic garden of your own.
You can grow any kind of vegetables or fruits you would want to eat and or cook for your family.
This is one way of not going back and forth to the market or a convenience store just to buy a bag of carrots, onions, tomatoes, etc.
Fourth, the obvious way to save money and living green is to use less water.
In the kitchen, for example, when washing dishes, you can use a small basin-that fits your sink.
Fill the basin with water and use it to do your rinsing.
This helps a lot rather than just letting the water flow at any pace you want.
After rinsing, you can use the leftover water in the basin to water the plants.
In using the bathroom, it is quite the same process to saving and using less water.
Instead of using the shower, you can use a pail and dipper so as not to waste any excess clean water; in that way, there is more control in using an amount of water at a time.
Also, if you have a bathtub, you can probably use it every now and then.
I, personally, use my bathtub very seldom because of the (1) amount of water it uses to fill the tub, and (2) the time it takes to fill the tub.
I am not against anyone who is planning to buy a tub, or has one that is being used already, but there is just a suggestion that I made to help everyone stay and live on the green side to also, save money.
The fifth and the last tip that I have on mind, is replacing light bulbs.
If everyone in one country changed one light with an energy star light bulb, then we would be able to save more than enough energy to light relatively three million homes per year.
We would prevent nine billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per year.
The compact fluorescent light bulbs will save about $30 over its lifetime and pay for itself for about 6 months.
There are so many more things that one can think of saving more money on living green.
Let us be helpful to our environment, and open our eyes to the existing concerns of that our world is facing today.
Help each other stay green as well as save the greens.
