Going green on the home front: Tips and gadgets for saving energy and water

Do you know how simple it is to “go green”? Most people think that it means a bunch of radical lifestyle changes and costly home improvements, but the fact of the matter is that it is best to go green in stages rather than trying to tackle the process in a matter of days or a few weeks.

For example, if you decide to be eco-savvier at home, you will have to pull together all of your utility bills and do some basic math to see what your lifestyle habits are costing you. For instance, how often do you leave your computer on around the clock? Do you watch hours and hours of TV during the weekends? How long is your average shower? How much gas or electricity do you use in a single month?

Once you become aware of the costs you can begin identifying the areas in which you might be careless or consuming too much.
