How to Go Green on a Budget

Going green is something that can be accomplished by everyone! Here are some easy ways to help the environment while saving money.

If you drive a gas-guzzler, you may have a hard time trading it in. If you could use less gas, you would save money and help the environment. Consider walking, biking, or using public transportation. Planning your trips and grouping as many into one trip will save gas.

Do you have a baby? Believe it or not, you can parent green, too! Breastfeeding, cloth diapering, and homemade baby food are environmentally friendly and budget friendly, too. If you need more information on these natural parenting methods, simply use the Internet to search for information and web articles.


When you go shopping, do you come home with a ton of plastic bags? These bags are horrible for the earth, and humans use a large amount of them every year. Some stores will take back your used bags, and there are many creative ways to use them at home. However, most stores sell reusable shopping bags for a low price. They typically cost a dollar a bag, and a great option for the environment.

Simply turning off lights in your home when they are not being used will save energy and save you money. Consider limiting the time you spend in the shower, and make sure to turn off the faucet when you are brushing your teeth.

As you can see, you can help planet Earth even while you are on a budget. You do not have to purchase an expensive hybrid vehicle or install solar panels all over your home. Just by taking a few easy, practical steps and reading some informative web articles, you can reduce your impact on the environment and save money, too.

The Power of the Penny

How many people think of the penny as a useless piece of change? What if that penny was worth more than you ever thought possible?

The power of the penny is in volume. Did you know the college fund of one child can be saved using just 50 pennies a day?

Saving just 50 cents a day for one year equals $182.50 a year. Over 18 years time, that savings total will add up to $3285.00. If that money is invested and earns interest, the first year of college could be paid for using just 50 pennies a day.

The Power of the Dollar

If the savings were doubled and $1.00 were saved every day, that amount would add up to $6570.00. The power of the penny and the power of the dollar mean more savings and less throwing those brown beauties away.
