Still Confuzzeled About Where to Start Being Green?

G.G. realizes it can be overwhelming going green. Surfing the Net is information overload and frustrating figuring out a beginning point to go green.

My tip? Start out small and take small green steps, every effort helps. Here's a great resource with various tips for going green in the home, it's called Going Green. Check out the A to Z tips for going green.

Some small steps you can take to go green include:
  • If you live in an area of the country that runs your AC most of the year, place small trash cans underneath the condensation pipe and use that water to water your plants.

  • Recycle everything your curbside service will allow.

  • Take shorter showers, eliminate soaking in the bath tub, hand wash dishes and do laundry minimally.

  • Purchase re-usable canvas grocery bags instead of using the plastic ones stores have.

  • Use environmentally friendly cleaning products.

  • Pack your lunch in Tupperware/Rubbermaid vs. Ziploc bags (or at least reuse the Ziploc bags).
