2009 Green Trends

So you're interested in going green in 2009? Well you have come to the right place. Going green is one of those things that can seem difficult and inconvenient, but it is actually very simple and easy. The thing to keep in mind is less is more. In other words, extravagance is unnecessary when converting to an eco-friendly lifestyle because the goal is to minimize the energy output, and maximize the monetary savings.

For example, by doing something simple such as switching from standard light bulbs to energy-saving CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs), you can expect to use up to 75% less energy on lighting. Aside from the huge savings on the monthly bills, this option saves you a lot of hassle because CFLs last almost 10 times longer than standard bulbs. This means no more constant trips to the store to replace old bulbs. Just by making one adjustment, you have just saved gas money, utility money, and a pain in the neck.
