40 Ways to Go Greener at Home.
1. Plant an herb garden. It’s good to have a reminder around of where our food originates.
2. Switch all your lightbulbs to CFLs (or at least switch a few).
3. Switch one appliance to an energy efficient model (look for the “energy star” label).
4. Turn off lights when you leave the room.
5. Don’t turn on lights at all for as long as you can — open your curtains and enjoy natural light.
6. Drive the speed limit, and combine all your errands for the week in one trip.
7. Better yet, walk or ride a bike to your errands that are two miles or closer.
8. Turn off your computer completely at night.
9. Pay as many bills as possible online.
10. Reuse scrap paper. Print on two sides, or let your kids color on the back side of used paper.
11. Subscribe to good eco-friendly blogs.
12. Fix leaky faucets.
13. Make your own household cleaners.
14. Line dry your laundry.
15. Unplug unused chargers and appliances.
