The Benefits you get for going Green!

There are three main ways that going green benefits you.

1. If we go green the Earth will gradually become less polluted with waste and gases. As we realize the affects we have had on the earth and begin to change our living styles the Earth will become a much more pleasant and healthier place.
2. By going green you will save an extreme amount of money. People tend not to believe this, but it is VERY true. You can build a garden and eat fresh fruit and vegetables all the time. This obviously will save you money. You can also keep a better eye on the energy you use. Simply turn off all your lights, computers, and televisions when they are not in use. The biggest savings will come in your electricity bill. You can buy/build solar panels, windmills, and geothermal pumps. These may cost you up front, but the savings is remarkable. Imagine not needing to pay for the electricity bill ever again, that will add up very quickly! You can read my review about Earth4energy's 'how to build solar panels/windmills book' Here. In addition, by purchasing more energy efficient products that you use on a daily basis such as, light bulbs, computer monitors, televisions, this will help you reduce a lot of heat released into your house. Thus, not needing to use the air conditioning unit near as much and lowering your bill! You will be very surprised by the results.
3. Every single person in this world likes to feel a sense of self-fulfillment. In order to do this you must feel that you did and accomplished something great. Now, what is better than knowing you helped keep the Earth clean for many generations to come?

The environment has continuously gotten worse through time. Our technology has made millions of things more possible, it has benefited our lifestyles as well as the economy. However, our pollution toward the Earth has increased along side the increases in technology. The average waste generated per person each year is above 1,500 lbs. This can be lowered by at least 50% if we recycled on a weekly basis. In addition, the average American releases 20 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year! This can be drastically lowered by car-pooling, riding your bike (just to places down the street), or buying a more energy efficient car.
