Going green doesn't have to mean drastic lifestyle changes. A few simple adjustments to your daily routine can put some extra cash in your pocket, improve your health and help save the planet. Does this Spark an idea?
Fuel Efficiency
Drive slower and you'll increase fuel efficiency by at least 15 percent.
Better Air Quality
Choose VOC-free paints for your next home remodeling project. They emit fewer chemicals and keep your indoor air cleaner.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Reduce the amount of trash you contribute to landfills by choosing products with less packaging. Buy in bulk, and skip the bottled water; use tap instead.
Better Health
Walking and biking when you can has immediate health benefits. You will also save money on gas and reduce carbon emissions.
Better Communities
Buying locally supports small businesses and farms. Choose local produce whenever you can--many fruits and vegetables travel over 1,000 miles to reach your plate.
