Making your home eco-friendly is not only beneficial to our environment, but can also save you money. Here are a few simple steps you can take to make your place more green.
1. Opt out of junk mail (100 million trees worth are sent out each year)
2. Buy a water-saving shower head
3. Replace your burnt out bulbs with CFLs or LEDs (CFs use about 66% less energy and last up to 10 times longer)
4. Plant a container garden inside
5. Change the thermostat heat down by 2 degrees or air conditioning up by 2 degrees. (You will save 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide year)
