Get a Little Greener
Interested in going from a shade of light green to a darker one?
Here are a few ways to make your life greener and our planet cleaner.
The Green Mile
We all need to get from point A to point B, but there are ways to do it in a more eco friendly way. If you’re currently driving to work in an SUV by yourself, you can instantly upgrade to a darker green by adding one passenger to your car or taking public transportation a few days a week. To be medium green, trade in the SUV for a hybrid or ride your bike to work. Remember, it ain’t easy being green.
Get Your Greens
When it comes to food, some goods make us greener than others. Local organic food is a greener choice because it doesn’t use harmful chemicals or pesticides and isn’t transported in gas guzzling trucks like store-bought goods. To go from light to medium green, shop at farmers markets and buy organic. To go a shade darker, start growing your own veggies in your backyard.
Home Sweet Green Home
Your home is a really great place to get greener. If you’re the light green type who has been recycling and using energy efficient light bulbs, you can really kick things into high gear by switching to energy star appliances and windows. If you want an even darker green abode, try switching to formaldehyde-free kitchen cabinets and non-toxic paint. And when it comes to the yard, the grass really shouldn’t be greener. Get a shade darker by limiting lawn chemicals and fertilizers.
