Unknown Easy Tips on Keeping Green

Concern over the environment is not a new ideal, but it is one that more and more people are waking up to. Whether people believe in global warming or not, the thought that this world functions best with the least amount of unneeded pollution is something that almost everyone can stand behind. Everyone wants to do their part in helping keep the earth clean, and here are some things that everyone can do with little hassle:

•        Recycle Electronics

According to the EPA, 5.5 billion pounds of electronics were thrown away in America alone. Most of these lead to chemicals and heavy metals saturating the ground. Not only do some companies pay for recycled electronics (ie. old phones), but it can be overall easier to recycle than to toss away.

•        Let Your Grass Grow

It has been shown that keeping your grass at 2 ½ inches is actually the greenest length to keep it. With keeping your grass a little longer, the length creates more surface area for the grass to absorb the sun, which in turn causes deeper roots and the need to water the grass less often. This not only saves time, and water, but it also saves energy. So now you can relax on your weekends, and save the earth at the same time.

•        Clean Your Clothes Green

Everyone has to wash their clothes, but there are things that you can do to make sure that you are doing it in a way that is best for the earth. Using a dry cleaner that uses the GreenEarth process guarantees that both your clothes and the planet will be without pollutants.
