Introduction
We are all increasingly feeling the need to help the
environment in the face of global warming. Most people
would like to "go green," but think that it would be more
expensive to change their ways than just carrying on as always.
Well, the good news is that you can save money while staying
green. You can adopt all kinds of environmentally friendly habits that
will keep a sizable portion of your hard earned money firmly in your
pocket.
Isn't that the best of both worlds? You get to do your bit for the
good of mankind, spending less in the process.
Of course, you need to know all the best strategies. Some of them
are obvious and touted by everyone who preaches the green life.
However, there are lots of little known ways to make a huge
difference that very few people talk about. It is mainly those kinds of
strategies that this ebook concentrates on.
Even if the worst predictions of our planet's fate from man-made
global warming fails to actually come about, we can all benefit
greatly by adopting green measures. Earth's resources are for all to
enjoy and we should not be wasting them, even when there appears
to be plenty to go round.
Some of the statistics stated in this ebook may shock you. It
shocked me too. It soon becomes obvious that we humans are a
wasteful lot, or at least we have been. But there will never be a
better time than now to change your ways, go green and save green
at the same time.
Even if you only take up one single tip from this ebook, that will be
worth it. There are 125 green strategies in this ebook to help you
save your money and still be green, so you have little excuse not to
start doing several of them - or all of them!
The Home
The home is one of the places where you can make the most
savings and also the biggest environmental impact. There are
so many things that can be improved or changed in any home.
These measures typically don't cost the earth – sometimes nothing
at all, and the savings gained can be considerable over time.
Even if you are not in a position to invest in greener ways, you can
still make a tremendous difference at little or no cost. You just have
to know how.
This section, dealing with the Home, is the largest, so it has been
divided up into three basic sub-sections:
ï¬ The Kitchen
ï¬ Home Appliances
ï¬ Heating & Insulation
Each of these sections is dealt with in depth. The tips offered are
the best in terms of overall savings for you, as well as in terms of
positive overall environmental impact.
I realize that not all of the green strategies will suit everyone, but
there are plenty to go round, so expect to find some that can fit into
your lifestyle perfectly.
