never entertain the fact that it's hard and expensive because it's not... there are hundreds of ways but doing these five tips that my husband and i were already practicing can make a whole lot of difference financially and environmentally.
- Recyclable grocery bags...all groceries are selling these, buy a lot!, it's just a dollar something by doing so we can eliminate the non-biodegradable plastics that can litter for thousands of years.
- Stop buying bottled water... aside from causing a big hole in our pockets, this contributes the same problem as the grocery bags in our environment. what we do at home is, we buy water from refilling stations with our two gallon container which cost us only .75 cents per refills. we bought a ceramic dispenser for convenience which only cost 20 bucks! for lifetime use.
- Sorting... please sort your trash... allocate a paper bag for trashes plastics, glass bottles and papers. a seven year old kid can do this... why can't we?
- Brew your own coffee... buying coffee from starbucks, coffee bean, etc... is a discreet way of chucking your hard earned money for nothing! don't tolerate laziness... the disposable cups that's being used for these coffee are making a hell of a mess in our environment.
- Grow your own plant/trees... no matter if you live in a house or apartment, never stop from growing your own plant. there are lots of easy-to-grow plants that you can have indoor. we have six pots of plants inside the house and you may also consider planting strategically outside, this can lower air temperature during warm weather thus avoiding usage of aircon that boosts the electric bills big time and during cold weather the trees can act as a windbreaker thus allowing less cold air to enter our houses.
