Reduce your carbon footprint! Leaving your car at home twice a week can cut greenhouse gas emissions by 1,600 pounds per year. Save up errands and shopping trips so you need to drive fewer times. If you commute to work, ask if you can work from home at least some days, and you'll reduce air pollution and traffic congestion. t's electric! You can check how much of your electricity comes from renewable "green" power sources, such as wind or solar. Green power produces less carbon emissions, reduces air pollution, and helps protect against future costs or scarcity of fossil fuels. If green power is a consumer option, check price differences from suppliers before you buy. http://www.greenliving9.com/

We are living in the 'burbs right now as well, but I know city dwellers have a harder time finding ideas sometimes, so I like to research and write about those types of tips when I can. Glad you are having some success on the edible yard front. http://www.greenliving9.com/

Hi guys they really are some great tips, But i managed to find a better book online, which tells you what to do with motor oil to constructing green chicken coops and is pretty much the bible when it comes to going green. http://www.goforagreenerlife.blogspot.com regards, Jas :)

I like your aticle but you should expand on the financial benefits of going green as well. Companies like Wowgreen financially reward people for making the switch to green. All I had to do was stop buying toxic household cleaners and switch to a less expensive green cleaner. 64 ounces of Tide cost me 19.00 and change. 64 ounces of clean enzyme cleaners cost me 18.00. Delivered. Tide stain sticks are $7.00. Green sticks are $3 and sum change. Delivered. The cleaners are Fantastic, as my wife says, and less expensive, as I say...plus, when I refer Wowgreen to friend I earn a commssion, like Amway. You can make the switch to green cleaners at Wowgreen here today. www.Green-Business-Opportunity.com
