It’s Easy Being Green
More and more people are interested in going green, buying organic, and ultimately protecting the environment, for a number of different reasons.
“The quality of your life can improve, you can save money with green living choices, and you can protect the health of your family,” says Crissy Trask, founder of Greenmatters.com and author of It’s Easy Being Green: A Handbook for Earth-Friendly Living. You can start making easy yet meaningful changes in your life today with the following green ideas.

Every time you drive solo in an SUV, you’re adding more than 1.5 pounds of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases to the environment with each mile. Change your driving habits and you make an immediate impact on the environment. Take short trips on foot or by bike instead, and you’ll also make an immediate impact on your health. While riding your bike at a leisurely 6 miles per hour, you can burn 240 calories an hour or more. Walking at a normal pace of 2 to 3 miles per hour, you can burn up to 300 calories or more each hour.
