How "green" are you?  |
|
What are you doing to have a "green" environment? Do you think it is more expensive to go green? I have been looking at a lot of things that are "green" and found that the prices are about the same and some times cheaper, but most thing it is more expensive.
I bought some "green" dishwasher soap the other day it was $2.96USD compaired to the $3.47USD I normally pay. Plus I had a coupon for .50 cents off so it was a GREAT deal.
I like the cleaners too because not only are they "enviromentaly" safe but they are safer for people just the smell is different (in a good way).
I also use reusable shopping bags. I bought about 20 from Target and love them! I use them for every thing, take them every where with me (even walmart LOL), I have used them to go to the zoo even!
So are you going "green" why or why not???

2. mnflower (994) | 1 year ago | I would love to go green but here in minnesota it is way too expensive to even think of buying the green products that are out, even cars are far more expensive and they really don't last or save the gas like they should. They are no good for winter driving either, my friend has a prius and she has to park it in the winter for it has no trackion at all. So I will do what I can when they lower the green they are pushing so hard for they will lower the prices so they will be worth working with and using.

ebsharer (2474) | 1 year ago | I'm suprised to hear that its more expensive to go green!
A few tips that are deffinatly "green cheap":
*When washing windows use red vinager and water. Instead of using a papertowel use newspaper. By the way do one side up and down the other side to side so you can see streaks.
*Lemons are great for glass shower doors. After I use a lemon for what ever reason I put some baking soda in it and use it like a sponge to clean any thing with soap scum.
*Use old wrapping paper for your background on scrapbook pages.
*Keep plastic containers from take out or butter and what ever else.
*Junk mail - use for scrap paper.
* Energy bulbs are more expensive to start with but cheaper electric bill and they last longer. I didn't belive it but I changed ALL my bulbs over on the day my electric billing cycle started - my next bill was down $30!!

3. seastereve (104) | 1 year ago | I don't like using plastic bags. I usually hold the things I bought in my hands or put it in my bag without plastic bags. I think most people don't realize how big the difference is if we just use less plastic.

ebsharer (2474) | 1 year ago | The light bulbs are more expensive BUT they last longer and really make a differance on the bill. We originaly just bought a few for the lights we use most often then after I seen the $20 differance I changed them all. The bill went down another $10!
We don't have central air but do have energy efficient window units. We have 3 - 2 are in the bedrooms so they are only on at night and the 3rd is on in the moring for about 2 hours and evening for about 5 hours. I thought my electric bill would go up by a lot but it hardly went up at all.

5. Adeliza1220 (320) | 1 year ago | While I was pregnant I came to thinking about so many things and had came to the conclusion that I was going to try to go green on a couple of things like detergent, dishwashong soap, mattress, mattress pad, daipers, wipes, blankets.... some things are a little high price but then there are many things that are actually cheaper than regular items. Walmart has great prices on eco friendly products
