Going Green One Step At a Time

thought of living a more environmentally friendly lifestyle at some point in your life? Trying to live a “greener” life can take time, patience, and learning from your mistakes. What works for one person may not work for you. You will need to decide which path of being green will work best for you and your family.

Taking it slow is the key to living this lifestyle. Making too many changes at once can overwhelm you and you might not give being green a chance. Try a couple ideas a month and once you have executed them into your lifestyle, try two more. Studies have shown that it takes about 6 weeks to make a repetitive motion a habit.

How do you get started? Well, the best things to do to start your greener life are the simple, free actions in your family and household. Here are five simple ways to living a greener life:

1. Start drying your clothes outdoors. If you are concerned about stiff clothes, use a good grade eco-friendly fabric softener. You can also use white vinager as a fabric softener – it does not smell after the rinse cycle and does a good job.

2. Compost your kitchen scraps and yard debris. You can easily make a nutrient dense additive for your flower beds and vegetable garden.

3. If you can, recycle everything. Many times the money recovered by recycling is used to maintain parks and community activities. If your municipality doesn’t have a recycling program you can still find many non-profit places (churches, mission groups, domestic shelters, etc) that fund their activities through recycling. All it takes is three containers/clean garbage cans (one for aluminum cans, newspaper, and plastic) and a willingness to drop them off once a week or month.

4. Carpool whenever possible. With unstable gas prices, we will never know when they will go down again. It’s also just common sense to save as much money as you can by carpooling.

5. Turn off what you are not using! Turn off the light when you leave a room. Every little bit can help. Use surge protectors turn off your electronics. You’d be surprised how many household electronics ( televisions, dvd players, computers, etc) use electricity even when they are off!
