Going Green on Strict Budgets
Going green is a phrase that is all over the place today, whether it is in the news or being talked about in schools. The whole idea of going green is trying to make our world more environmentally friendly, and during an economic crisis like the one we are in going green can also help save money. Many people have the common misconception that the only way to go green is by purchasing products that are better for the environment, as a result of this many people don’t do this because their budgets don’t allow.
This is incorrect and here are some ways that you can go green without breaking down your budgets. One way that you can go green while saving money is by changing the type of light bulb that you use. Many light bulbs that are used in homes today use three times the amount of energy that a compact fluorescent light bulb uses. By purchasing compact fluorescent light bulbs your monthly budgets will never suffer because purchasing them can save you as much as $800 dollars in your lifetime. Also, because compact fluorescent light bulbs use less energy they also produce half as much heat as standard light bulbs, which can decrease the amount of heat during those hot summer months.
