Save The Earth, Save Your Wallet

Sometimes, saving the earth can go hand-in-hand with saving your wallet some extra money. As we move towards a more globalized, sustainable society, humans are developing new ways to conserve power, electricity, and reduce waste across the board. Here are some of those great environmentally friendly tips that also impact the way you spend your money.

It might sound archaic, but hang-drying your clothes is one of the most efficient ways to save the earth and your pocket. The drying machine in your home uses more power than any other appliance, meaning it’s making your energy bill higher than it needs to be while wasting more resources than necessary. Plus, dryers can ruin your clothes, so stick to a more eco-friendly tactic.

Speaking of electricity, make sure all your lightbulbs have been switched out to fluorescent bulbs. It’s 2018… if you haven’t done that, you need to get with the times. Additionally, make sure you’re using surge protectors with an on/off switch. They’ll save you power when you switch them off when going out.

Lastly, have a reusable water or beverage bottle on hand. So much plastic is wasted by producing individual bottled water, so do your part in saving the environment by eliminating that plastic waste in your life. You’ll never have to buy a 24-pack of water ever again.
