They have a lot of great stuff on there about things you can change to be greener!

You can start with simple things, unplug anything you’re not using, especially if you won’t be using it for quite some time- TVs, video game systems, electric toothbrushes, hair dryers, toasters, coffee makers, phone chargers–they all use a LOT of energy even when they’re not on! So unplug what you can and that’ll be a great start…AND it’ll save you money!

Use 13 watt lightbulbs, the swirly shaped ones. They give as much light as a 60 watt bulb but use so much less energy! And they last for so much longer too!

There are a lot of cleaning products that are considered green too. A lot of people are worried that if they’re natural, they won’t clean as well but Clorox has a new line called Greenworks that have passed EPA standards but are supposed to clean just as well as their normal products, bathroom cleaners, window cleaner equal to Windex, things like that. You can check out a page for info that’s not an actual Greenworks page so you know it’s biased- http://www.sierraclub.org/greenworks/

Have fun going green!!
