Saving Green............

Some people think that going green is more expensive, but in fact there’s ways of going GREEN and save money. I have received a newsletter from the David Suzuki Foundation entitled “What’s HOT, What’s NOT in 2009” and it had the items shown bellow.

• HOT
  Caring consumerism
  Renew and repair
  Barter, trade, donate
  Do-it-yourself
  Lower energy bills
  Green gifting
  Eating in, local, and low on the food chain
  Free exercise
  Vacationing close to home, going outsideGreen investing

• NOT (HOT)
  "He who has the most toys wins"
  Accumulate and dispose
  Individual use, currency-based economy
  Outsourcing
  Energy waste
  More stuff we don’t want or need
  Eating out, exotic, and meaty
  Gym and studio memberships
  Jet-setting, nature deficit disorder
  Banking as usual
  

Searching the internet I have also found a book from David Bach, “Go Green, Live Rich”. For more information and opinions on the book, CLICK HERE.

It actually makes a lot of sense to me (not having a rich life in the materialistic way of the word, but adopting small actions that make a difference and enrich all of us). Because we’re not only helping the planet a little bit but we’re also improving our lives.
