5 Tips To Becoming Greener

Here are some great tips to get you on the road to becoming a greener person/family.

Tip 1 - Place native plants in your front and back yard. The native plants thrive on less water and less use of herbicides and pesticides.
Tip 2 – Replace old style windows with new energy efficient thermal panes. Also use blinds during the day to keep out sun and help keep your home cool.
Tip 3 - New fridge and freezer. Over the past 30 years, fridges and freezers have become three times more efficient.
Tip 4 - New toilets and shower nozzles will help cut down on water bills and help prevent more water pollution. Tip 5 - Plant trees. Trees will help with shade and will make your home cooler. In the winter, they will also shield your home from cold wind. But their biggest advantage is the way they help the environment. Each tree filters 60 lbs of pollutants a year and gives off oxygen in return.
