People all over the world are waking up to the fact that now is the time to do all we can to save the environment, that it’s cool to be going green today, and that we can gain a lot personally (financially and emotionally) by initiating eco-friendly measures.
Some aspects of being environmentally conscious are quite expensive, like buying organic food and building green homes. But there are others that are both cost-effective and cost-saving, like:
• Cutting back on electricity usage: It’s pretty easy to cut back on electricity – all you need to do is set your thermostat a couple of degrees lower or higher, use compact florescent lamps, and switch off appliances when they’re not in use.

Buying new products leaves a large carbon footprint because of all the energy expended in making the product, transporting it, and using it.
