Go green, see the light and save big.
Taking small steps to improve your planet will mean big steps toward improving your finances, your health and your community. Most people are intimidated by the amount of information bombarding them to "go green." Being told "You have to become a whole new person or else" doesn't usually sit well. They are concerned about adding new expenses or getting tangled up in high maintenance, frustrating activities.
The good news is that products are coming down in price dramatically and many changes can be done at no, or very little, cost.
Go green and save big on energy bills.
The traditional 60 watt light bulb lasts 5,000 hours and costs about 50-85 cents. That sounds pretty cheap when comparing it to a $4.00 florescent bulb. Now look again. That florescent bulb uses 75% less electricity to work, emits no heat and will last close to twice as long.
Count your light bulbs, multiply by that $100 and that's about how much your electric bill will drop in a year without standard bulbs. Three-way florescent bulbs last 6,000 hours vs the standard's 2,500 which will put another $65, per bulb, in your pocket, per year. Since no heat is emitted, you can put a florescent bulb in a lamp that shines like a 75-100 watt standard and only be using 13 watts. (Its not that I am getting older that I can't see, the world is just full of bad lighting! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!)
Go green easily and save big making a few simple adjustments at your own pace. What do YOU want to rearrange in your life? How to save on your use of fuel running errands? Cutting back on the amount of trash you generate? Adding recycling into your life? Saving on clothes costs? There are community programs and resources to help you find the way that best fits your lifestyle and most information is on line. Get your family involved by letting the kids do some research.
