The earth's natural resources are vital to our existence. With around 6.6 billion people living on this planet, our resources need to be used wisely. If each person made at least one change toward living a green life, we could manage our resources to last for future generations. Living green does not have to happen all at once. Each of us first needs to acknowledge and then agree to make changes to begin living green. Adapting slowly, one step at a time, will allow us and our planet an easy transition to living green.During winter, lowering your thermostat just 10 degrees when you leave for work save 320 pounds of CO2 from entering the atmosphere over one year. Needless to say, it will also lower your heating bill by around 10% for the year too. Check out this Home Heating interactive site to learn more facts about how much you can save.
Here are some tips for living green:
*Recycle or buy re-cycled goods
*Reuse coffee filters
*Hang clothes instead of using the dryer
*Turn off all appliances and lights when not in use
*Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact florescent bulbs
*Get a low-flow shower head
