A few people said they did not know where to start in terms of practicing any green principles at home, but wanted some suggestions. USA Weekend gave some great “green” tips to use at home that contained some great tips that we found worth mentioning again.
- Get a reusable water bottle and coffee cup; say no to disposables.
- Use only energy-saving bulbs.
- Recycle all paper products
- Redecorating? Look at furniture and accessories you already have and change them from room to room for a new look, instead of tossing and buying new things.
- Use the phone or video chat with Skype for meetings instead of driving your car.
- Buy earth-friendly cleaning products when possible.
- Try to buy local produce and food.
- Turn your car off while waiting in car-pool pickups to avoid idling.
