Going green — we’ve all heard of it. Except many don’t know where to start. My family and I have slowly started adding green routines into our daily lives. My father is an electrician and we have changed all of our light bulbs into energy efficient bulbs. It has saved hundreds of dollars on our electric bill.
There are many other ways to save the planet and our money. For example, it’s as easy as leaving our watering can outside during a rainy day to catch the water. Use that rainwater to feed your indoor plants, or save it to use on a dry day outside. Why use tap water when nature gives you all the resources you need to feed your yard?
Anyone can do it, and will save precious money in these hard times.
