5 Ways to "Go Green"

Follow these easy tips from www.worldwatch.org to save both money and the environment.

1. To save energy, unplug appliances when you’re not using them.  Or use a “smart” power strip that can sense when appliances are off.

2. Buy a faucet aerator for each faucet in your house.  They’re inexpensive and they conserve heat and water.

3. Wear clothes that don’t need to be dry-cleaned.  You’ll save money and cut down on toxic chemical use.

4. Try walking or biking to work.  It’ll save gas and parking costs while improving your health.

5. Donate or recycle your electronics instead of throwing them in the trash.  They contain mercury and other toxics that harm the environment.
