But nowadays, it's not only easy going green, it could also save you a lot of green.

You can start with the light bulbs in your home and office. Replacing older bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs will not only save you money on your utility bill because they use less energy, they are also good for the environment.

Most of the electronics in your home are on standby about 75% of the time. If you plug these electronic devices into a power strip that you can turn off when not using, you will save on your utility bill, and help the environment by using less electricity.

Just by changing the way you carry your groceries you can save money and reduce waste.

Your local library can save you a ton of money.

Lastly, you can get things used from other people trying to get rid of the things they don't want, and in most cases it's free. Check out websites like craigslist or freecycle.org.
