When it comes to going green, you may be concerned about how much money it will take to invest in new products and how many changes to your life it will cause. But we are here to tell you that going green doesn’t have to break the bank. It can actually save you money presently and in the long run. So, what have you been waiting for? We have a few ideas that can help you save money while you go green.
Use public transportation
By cutting down on driving your own car and making it so you use public transportation more often, you are saving gas money, and also saving from future wear and tear on your car. You can of course use whichever method of transportation is most readily available in your area. Maybe it is the bus, the train, or the subway system.
Either way, you want to be sure to keep your pass handy and ready to be scanned upon boarding. This will ensure that you board on time, with efficiency and speed. The other guests will be glad that you aren’t holding up their route and you will get everywhere in a timely fashion. This one saves money, the planet, and makes it so you can catch up on that eBook you have been dying to read.
Get a library card
Yes, we are serious about this one. Get a library card. Not only will it help you to save money on new books, but it can also help you to learn about a more sustainable lifestyle. You can check out All You Can Books, magazines, and even eBooks from the library. It is the perfect (and free) way to learn more and invest in yourself, without spending any money.
If you are a more audio-styled learner, you can even check out audiobooks from your local libraries. You will be able to throw your earphones in and listen to a new story while riding the bus, your bike, or while you work around the house. Getting a library card is an easy, green, money-saving change to make in your life.
Upgrade your home
Ok, we know this one sounds pricey
