It seems like easy, earth-friendly lifestyle alternatives are being made across all industries these days. I guess people are finally getting the message that changes have to be made if our great-grandkids want to experience things like... you know... spring and autumn.
I'm trying to do my part.
Last month I simply checked a little box on my electric bill to sign up for alternative energy - so easy! It cost about eight dollars a month more, but powering my home with clean energy from hydropower and wind makes me feel like a million bucks.
Speaking of easy ways to be more environmentally minded, I found a ton of great ideas in radio host Josh Dorfman's new book, The Lazy Environmentalist. It's an in-depth guide to living more "green" with solutions for the home that are simple, stylish and might actually save me money when I start incorporating them into lifestyle.
Apparently being "green" is all about our choices, so how about making your next decision to check out Josh's blog http://lazyenvironmentalist.com? There's no mention of patchouli oil or crystal deodorant, and I promise it will inspire you to begin a more eco-friendly existence, too.

Being "green" is certainly becoming increasingly easier especially when it comes to your home. Most people assume that going "green" is more costly however if you look at it as a long term investment you will most always save money.

Love the new green movement and I just started a new green business. Clothing re-cycling,swapping and selling pre-owned clothing, on a national level. I have taken the local fashion swap party to the internet.
My motto is go green while saving some green. Swapping instead of buying new is the wave of the eco-future for us fashionistas.
