There are many people who are suffering now because of the economy. Money is tight in many households. It’s a good time to go green. Going green can save you money.
Have you ever considered that the “ultra” soft toilet tissue you are using could be harmful to the environment? They also cost more.
Did you know these ultra soft tissues are made from virgin fiber and bleached with chlorine? Using toilet tissue brands made from 100 percent recycled fiber would be a better choice and your delicate behind will not suffer.
Those on septic systems know the ultra soft tissues can really clog things up. Think of the savings of not having a plumber un-clogging the lines and pumping out the gunk.
Save money by visiting your local library instead of buying books. It’s free and it’s green.
Did you ever think that your dishwasher could be environmentally friendly? Studies have shown that running your dishwasher actually helps the environment by using less water than washing dishes by hand.
To conserve water, energy and money, run the dishwasher when full. Every time you conserve, it’s money in your pocket.
Put a lid on the pot when boiling water. According to Bill Nye the Science Guy/NOVA, if everyone in the U.S. household did this just once, we’d save up to $2,212,175.00!
Use rechargeable batteries. They may cost more in the beginning, but over time you will save over single use batteries.
Buy in bulk. It reduces packaging and waste plus less trips to the store, less gas in your car and more money left in your pocket.
Kids spend an enormous amount of time playing video games. Send them outside to play. Studies have shown that children with ADHD who went for walks outdoors in natural settings raised their attentiveness scores higher than those who walked city streets.
How does that save the environment? Video-game consoles are estimated to use 16 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. That is about four times the output of Hoover Dam.
Another up-side to playing out doors—a dose of nature can be as effective as a dose of Ritalin. Playing out doors does not have the negative side effects of a drug.
More environmentally friendly green tips include: turning off the computer at night and powering down when not in use during the day; washing clothes in warm or cold water instead of hot; pay bills on-line; use environmentally friendly and safe personal care products.
Did you know some toothpastes share the same ingredients as toilet bowl cleaners? Now that’s an interesting note. Perhaps some manufacturers of toothpastes consider the inside of your mouth to be the same as a toilet.
