Top 5 Easiest Ways to "go green"

1. Use cloth/canvas shopping bags
2. Use your local curbside recycling
3. Turn off lights (when you aren't in the room/don't need the light....turn it off)
4. Use real plates/silverware instead of disposable
5. Buy in bulk (reduces costs and packaging)

These ideas are easy to implement and numbers 2-5 will save you money. Many places offer free curbside recycling and if you have to pay for trash disposal this can save you money by having less trash. Turning off lights saves on electricity (you can also use CFL bulbs) and using real plates obviously saves money over buying disposables. Buying in bulk can often reduce costs by 25-50% in addition to reducing packaging.
