    Easy Tips for going green on a budget

    If you want to go green there are many ways to do it. You do not need to spend alot of money if you do not want to. 

    You can simply be more aware of your water and energy use around the house and other places.  You can recycle, reduce, and reuse items in your home. Also, bring reusable bags to the store, make your own cleaning products, grow your own vegetables, buy dried goods and bulk, and avoid buying pre-packaged fruits and vegetables etc.

    You do not have to buy into consumerism of going green, just do your part even if its small! » read more
