Five Ways to Go Green and Save Green

Climate change is in the news. It seems like everyone's “going green.” We're glad you want to take action, too. Luckily, many of the steps we can take to stop climate change can make our lives better. Let's start now.

Save energy to save money.

Set your thermostat（恒温器）degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs.

    16   As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heat the water.

Unplug (拔掉……的电源*头) electrical equipment when you're not using it. 

Save water to save money.

Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too.

Plant drought-tolerant (耐旱的) native plants in your garden.   17   Find out about these plants in your area.

Fix a low-flow showerhead. They don't cost much, and the water and energy savings can quickly pay back your money.

    18      

Walk or bike to work. This saves on gas and parking costs while improving your health and reducing your risk of being fat.

Eat smart.

If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week. Meat costs a lot at the store and it's even more expensive when you consider the related environmental and health costs.

19     Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the local economy.

Avoid bottled water.  

20     

Use a water filter (过滤器) to make drinking water instead of buying bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it causes large amounts of container waste.

A. When speaking of something to eat, try local products whenever you can.

B. Our grandchildren and their children will thank us for living green. 

C. Bring a reusable water bottle with you when traveling or at work. 

D. Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. 

E. Less gas = more money and better health! 

F. Move a little nearer to your work. 

G. Many plants need little watering.
