There are a few simple tips that everyone can follow at house besides recycling.

-An easy one. Turn off your lights when you are not using them. The benefits are obvious.
-Turn off your computer completely at night.
-Pay bills online.If every house did this then we would save 18 million trees every year.
-Don't take baths, take showers. You will in average save about half the amount of water that you would if you were taking a bath.
-Use cloth napkins daily instead of paper.
-Five-minute showers – make it a goal for yourself. Every minute you cut from your shower is roughly 5 gallons of water. The less time your shower takes, the lower your impact on the environment

All you need is have your 1st step and you'll found that its not that hard to go green. Together we fulfil a very important role to save our environment from being extinct. From today onwards, do your bit for the environment by changing some basic practises at home. Save money, time and the planet.
