6 Tips That Are Both Environment And Pocket Friendly

Going green matters nowadays and not just referring to the environment but also the greens in our wallets

. Money and the environment, how can you keep both at the same time? Is it possible to help save money while most of eco friendly products are even tad expensive than their conventional counterparts. Well, it's possible to do both at the same time. Save your money and save the environment.

There's some truth with environment friendly products being pricey but there's a good reason why people invest in them. So here are some simple tricks and tips on how to help you out:

1. Make us of microfiber towels instead of paper towels. They are cheaper and works as good as paper towels when it comes to household cleaning. Microfiber towels are also sturdy that's why you can save up more by reusing them instead of buying paper towels every month.

2. Cook at home instead of spending money eating out. You can save fuel on your car, you get to control what you eat and avoid the temptation of ordering those scrumptious cholesterol and sodium packed meals. They are costly and unhealthy, all those styrofoams and plastics will just pile up in your garbage.

3. Add a touch of nature to your home. We know that plants take in carbon dioxide and excrete oxygen. It makes your home look nicer and your air fresher. We have natural air cleaners around us, just by placing them a 100 square meters from your home can cleanse the air. Ionic purifiers do a good job in purifying the air but they emit ozone which is harmful to the environment.

4. Try air-drying your clothes. Instead of always letting the dryer do the work, let the sun help you out. The sun is a free natural source of heat and they can dry your laundry pretty well. Get you laundry out and line-dry, air dry them for a change.

5. Wash and reuse plastic. Instead of throwing all those plastic bags, wash them, dry them and reuse them. You can help extend the life of your plastic bags up to 10x just by washing them. Plastic takes a long time to decompose and when it reaches the sea, can choke and kill sea creatures such as dolphins and turtles, which is just sad. Also, improper disposal can lead your plastic to the sewers and can clog it up and can lead to floods.

6. Replace those old, worn out appliances with new ones, it's time to change. Big appliances suck up much electricity and give out too much heat if unmaintained. You think you might be saving by keeping them instead of buying new ones, but they consume to almost 10x more the electricity just to keep running. So toss them or take them to the scrap yard and buy more efficient, power saving and environment friendly appliances.

Those are the 6 tips you can do to start saving on your bills while helping Mother Nature. It's always best to go green these days. Why don't you?
