Recycle: Go green and save money

If you’re wondering how recycle, go green and save money fit together, you’re not alone. It can often be confusing; however, there are many simple ways to fit the three together. This article gives you some easy tips and ideas that will keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket.

1- Five Extra-Easy Ways To Recycle And Save Money

*Repaint, restore and reuse what you have, instead of buying new.

*Save and sell your aluminum cans.

*Carpool or use public transportation to save on gas.

*Drive the speed limit and save on gas.

*Recycle leaves and newspaper into compost, instead of buying it for your garden.

2-Reduce Use Of Plastic And Save Money

*Stop buying bottled water. Purchase a refillable water bottle and consider buying a filtration system for your faucet with the savings.

*Buy toys made of wood such as swing sets and wagons for your children instead of plastic and sell them when your child outgrows them.

*Make cloth shopping bags to replace plastic bags.

*Download music and movies and store them on an external hard drive. There is a big savings for those who download music and movies on-line instead of buying them.

3-Reduce Paper Usage And Save Money

*Save on the cost of paper and stamps by banking on line and paying bills the same way.

*Buy used books and magazines or check them out at the library.

*Using cloth diapers not only saves trees, they cost less and are healthier for your baby.

*Buy fabric napkins and tablecloths or make your own. Use cleaning cloths that can be laundered instead of paper towels.

4-Saved Water Equals Saved Money

*Check your plumbing for leaks. Even a small leak will run up your water bill.

*Install a water saving shower-head and cut your water bill way down.

*Turn the water off as you brush your teeth and bathe, then turn it on to rinse.

*Use drip irrigation instead of sprays and sprinklers, and water plants with water you use to boil vegetables.

*Use cleaning products such as baking soda and vinegar to keep toxic chemicals out of our water supply. They cost less and work just as well as toxin filled cleaners.

*Use non-chlorine whiteners in the laundry and keep chlorine bleach out of the water supply.

5-Protect The Air And Save

*Never, burn your trash. Recycle aluminum, glass and plastic. Place old cloths, leather and grease free food scraps in the compost pile and take the rest to a landfill.

*Recycle leaves in a compost pile instead of burning them. If you don’t need it, sell it.

*Use refillable pump spray bottles for hairspray and cleaning liquids instead of aerosol cans, which are harmful to the ozone.

*Keep your car in peak running condition and save on gas as you cut down on air pollution.

You can go green and save money if you first educate yourself and your family in what products are most harmful. Then change one thing a week that you do to harm the environment. Join freecycle.com in your community to find free items you need and to give away items you no longer want.
