The Ultimate Ways to go Green
I will wonder, and so will you, as to what the top 5 ways to "go green" really are. And, by the end of this piece, we'll probably know only a bit more, but here we go.
It is incredibly unlikely that people of the world who drive will stop driving. It is also quite unlikely that we will all turn off our lights when we should. But, for starters, why not take some stress off our forests and read eBooks? Sure, people will say, "Oh, I love the smell and feel of my book. I can't do it." Hah! I say. So, you would rather further clutter your bookroom, desk, or bookshelf? If you have the means, buy an eReader. Or at least download one of the apps. I have a Nook, and I am glad. Don't you want to be glad, too?
Next in line will be driving. Despite my earlier point, I wish to recant the statement: public transporation, or even carpooling, is such a wonderful idea. Not every city has optimal transportation, and it would be folly to think otherwise, yet, if no one uses it, why would a legislative body put forth great incentives faster? So, do us a favor and try to drive solo a little less often. Plus, we'd all like to breathe a little more easily.
And, while we're on the subject of driving, let's dig into subscription based serves. That might mean something like Netflix. If you rent movies, what better way to grab almost every hit on the planet than from a cheap service like Netflix? So, give it a shot. Sure, you spend at least $10, but really, you get so much bang for your buck. More Internet based-streaming services, the less shipping the trucks have to do.
And, then we hit the Post Office. If you're just shipping documents, it would be much more secure to send your papers via Email. Unless specifically asked to, try persuading the recipient to accept that route instead. It is much faster, and it is FREE, assuming you have an Email account, as well as your recipient.
Lastly, and this is really the big one, despite the unordered list above, keep yourself updated. Oh, but what does that have anything to do with going green? That doesn't sound like much action to me! But, it really is. I can't possibly give you the real top 5 ways to go green this new year. So, instead of lying to you, I will ask you to look around and find those ways. There is no right answer, folks, but there are answers.
Have a great, green, new year!
