Good Lifestyle

Most of you think that passing green requires a big amount of money on your bank account, but it's not entirely true. Yes, there are a lot of expensive organic foods and any "eco" can be friendly for the environment, but not your wallet. Nevertheless, there are a few simple things you can do now to help Mother Earth feel and watch a little better. You can start with these baby steps and, who knows, maybe then, you will go from the big city to the suburbs, driving an electric car and uses as little electricity as possible. But all you decide to do next, here are 10 simple ways to go green on a budget (right now!).

Invest in reusable containers
This requires a little to accustom you, but committing reusable containers is one of the easiest ways to help our environment. Bottled water ditch and start using your own bottle for liquids you may need. It also goes for a special cup for coffee to take away! It can be a bit awkward at first, but you should also try to use your own containers when you receive food to take away.

Use your car less
Cars are pretty practical, there is no denying the fact. Yet there are many healthier solutions that are fun and environmentally friendly. On foot whenever you can drive instead of driving is a way to reduce gasoline pollution of gas, but if you cover huge distances every day, you get the best option next to bike. There are many amazing models right now that can be fast enough! Of course, there are also public transport that can sometimes be even faster than traffic cars.

Compost
What better way to dispose of your food waste than to turn it into useful energy? You can use food waste for your garden and invest in vegetable growth and herbs. You can also know if there is a compost program in your city. They are generally free to join and you can help others even if you do not have a garden.

Use less electricity
Have you ever heard of "ghost electricity"? This happens when your devices use electricity even when they are not "ON", but are always connected in a trendy way. This is a total energy loss and you can end up paying 10% for electricity consumption. Remember to use special overvoltage protectors that deactivate gadgets that are not used or simply unplugging your computers and chargers when you go asleep. It's that simple!

Buy used items
You can save money loads when buying used things. Sometimes people sell gadgets, bicycles and even clothes not because they get older, but because they come out day or are simply forgotten somewhere in a garage, especially unused. Take your time and look through shops selling used objects or people who make garage sales. You never know what treasures you will find!

VA vegetarian or maybe all the way to vegan
Or at least try consuming less meat because it will be good for your body and your environment. Studies show that the production of meat leaves a carbon footprint greater than any other human activity, including driving cars. You do not have to go fully vegetarian if you do not want, but even participate in "days without meat" is a good way to help the world around you be a healthier place. Vegan is the ultimate finish - new tasty food flavors and all the time you make a conscious effort to be planned oriented in the diet and not oriented from meat.

Buy local fruits and vegetables
Organic food is one of the biggest trends as late, but it can become quite expensive if you want to be part of your lifestyle and not something you eat only during weekends. Remember to buy food directly from local farmers. There are many markets where you can find fresh products sold directly by growing fruits and vegetables. In this way, you will get the most organic food and save money at the same time.

Recycle e-waste
Electronic waste is not something you should take lightly. Discover the recyclers in your area and make sure your electronic waste is not found on a usual discharge. Electronic waste contains all kinds of harmful elements such as flame retardants, mercury and lead. All this can be recycled in a controlled environment without polluting air and water.

Reduce water consumption
We are not talking about drinking less than here, but use less water in your daily activities. Spend less time in the shower or just turn off the water when you do not need it (for example, shaving). You can also do the laundry only when your washing machine is full and use energy-efficient dishwashers that will significantly reduce the amount of water use.

Minus is more
Sometimes, if you want to help the environment, simply refuse more. Say "No" to a plastic bag at the supermarket and use your own instead. Do not take freebies freys, you do not really use and you will not need to think as much recycling because you will have less things about you to recycle! Consume less plastic and paper, go more digital with your bills and the environment will thank you.
