Lower your impact on the earth and your wallet

The cause of global warming is all around us. Your car, your garbage, even the lights you use to light your home can add to global warming, scary isn’t it? Well I have a tip to help lower your impact on the earth and your wallet.

Use your car less, I know this is a simple tip but most people don’t understand. Cars affect the environment a lot, so next time you need to use it, think, can I just walk to the place I’m going? Can I use public transportation to get there? Most people now days are so reliant on their autos that they can’t go anywhere without them, even if it’s only a couple blocks. This tip both saves you money, time, and even saves your waistline from getting out of control.

You can also help out by recycling your garbage. A lot of cities have recycling programs that can reduce your waste that goes to the landfill, just use them. If you want to make some cash on top of it, take your metals to a scrap yard. It might not be a lot but it might pay for something you need. Also please do not toss electronics in the trash; it can contaminate your earth. Take it to a place that will dispose of it correctly. Switch all your lights to CFL lighting, it saves you money by lowering your electric bill, uses less power, and helps put less carbon into the air. They might seem expensive at first but in the long run they save a lot. So that’s my tips for today.
