Personal Finance and Going Green
One thing I have always been fascinated with is the concept of sustainable living. That is to say, buying land, living in a house, “off the grid”. This would include growing your food, solar power, etc.
I happened to be perusing the vast world wide web and found the carnival of the green (22nd edition of carnival of the green). Some very interesting content at these carnivals, at least for me. Perusing the 21st version of the carnival of the green, I came across “How to Green Your Life”. At this point in time, it was the mother lode of information of how to get your toes wet into the “Greener” life.
Most of the 30+ points of how to green your life, actual read like a personal finance site recommending how to make your paycheck last a little longer. Things such as, turn off the lights when you leave a room, or yet my favorite, “Put a brick or plastic bottle of water in your toilet cistern to save water.” Imagine that, by taking a stance to save costs (to achieve the old adage: spend less than you earn), you can actually be making our world a better place (yes, a greener planet is a better place to me)! Maybe, I’m lame, but it put a smile on my face to realize this!
