10 Easy Ways to Go Green: Go Easy on the Environment with These 10 Tips

Going green is easy. Check out these simple and easy steps to make environmentally conscious choices in your everyday life.





Switch to CFLs (compact fluorescent light bulbs).
CFLs use 75% less energy and last up to 10 times longer--10,000 hours vs. 1,500 hours--than a traditional light bulb.












 Did you know that anything with an LED (light emitting diode) continues to draw power even after they're turned off? To save money and energy, plug appliances and electronics like cell phone chargers, TVs, and printers into power strips instead of wall sockets. When you're done using them, flip of the power to cut the flow of electricity.









A leaky faucet can waste up to 74 gallons of water a day, and a leaky toilet can waste up to 200 gallons a day. Fix the drip and save $30 a year and stop wasting up to 73,000 gallons of water a year.
