40 Ways to Save Money by Going Green

Our environment is in dire shape, and we seem to be running out of everything while trash and pollution seem to never stop increasing. But trying to live a little greener can seem quite daunting. Beyond recycling, what more can you do? Where do you start?
Here is a list of 40 basic entry points to a sustainable lifestyle that will not only go easy on the planet, but will go easy on your wallet, too. And who couldn’t use more money, right?
Sustainability starts at home, in your household and in your neighborhood. To save money by going green a little at a time, I suggest picking two or three things to do off the following list that seem easy to start right away—and start doing them this week.
Then next month, after you’ve had some time to integrate your new habits, pick two or three more, and then a month after that a couple more, until you’ve implemented as many of the 40 as you can.


This will not only give you steady progress and steady savings, but it will take any overwhelm out of the whole process!
