Save Money, Save The World

It's been quiet around here. I'm not sure why, just haven't had a lot to say. Its been too hot to say anything. I've been too tired.

Enough of the blah blah woof woof. He's something I found recently and I am proud to say that I do most of it...
10 Ways to Go Green and Save Money
1. CFLs. Change all your light bulbs.
2. Energy-efficient appliances. Energy Star
3. Buy used if possible. There are several swapping websites
4. Make your own coffee.
5. Eat in more.
6. Ride a bike, walk, carpool.
7. Gas-saving driving. This and #6 are about the same as far as I am concerned but if you must drive get a hybrid of an high MPG car
8. Less waste. Packaging...Buy fresh produce and choose products that aren't packaged heavily. Recycle the packaging once you get something
9. Insulation. We really need to check this in our house but with temps like the have been this month we really need to work on fixing this, it will probably help our already super efficient HVAC.
10. Push mower. Yeah right! My yard is too big for this BUT you can find alternative groundcover. Find a nursery that specializes or features native plants (not lowes or home depot) and find a nice ground cover.
