Save water to save money
Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too.
How to Go Green?
Here you can find hints on how to reduce you ecological footprint.
Keep Electronics out of the trash
Keep your cell phones, computers, and other electronics as long as possible. Donate or recycle them responsibly when the time comes.
Make your own cleaning supplies
The big secret: you can make very effective, non-toxic cleaning products whenever you need them. All you need are a few simple ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, lemon, and soap. Making your own cleaning products saves money, time, and packaging-not to mention your indoor air quality.
Clothing
Wear clothes that don't need to be dry-cleaned. This saves money and cuts down on toxic chemical use.
Borrow instead of buying
Borrow from libraries instead of buying personal books and movies. This saves money, not to mention the ink and paper that goes into printing new books.
Save Water
Plant drought-tolerant native plants in your garden. Many plants need minimal watering. Find out which occur naturally in your area.
Eat Smart
If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week. Meat costs a lot at the store-and it's even more expensive when you consider the related environmental and health costs.
Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when your older incandescent bulbs burn out.
Washing Clothes
Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heating the water.
Drying Clothes
Use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy otherwise used during machine drying.
