The idea of going green to most people is as alien as living in a cave without the benefits of electricity or other utilities that we take for granted.

Most people think that to live a green lifestyle they have to change all their life style at one time. But this is incorrect. You can ease yourself into an eco green living lifestyle in a simple way.

Living a green lifestyle is beneficial to you as you can save money and also the less resources consumed by you, the better off our planet is. Even the smallest step will make a difference to your life. You can start with small activities like recycling newspapers, glass and plastics. In the home you can ensure your electrical appliances are properly switched off and not left on standby. By doing only this step, you can save hundreds of dollars in wasted electricity each year which is money in your pocket and you can use this extra cash to go towards your yearly vacation.

When taking a shower, why not take a bucket into the shower recess with you and collect a bucketful of water each shower and use that to water pot plants, your lawn etc. Also, do not leave the tap running when brushing your teeth or shaving. If you do this every day, the savings to you will soon add up and you are making a difference.

Disposing of unwanted furniture in garage sales or just giving it away is a positive step in living green. The less furniture or other household waste disposed of on garbage tips can only make a huge difference to the health of the planet as less methane gas will be produced from the cocktail of garbage that we tend to throw out every day.

One other way which can bring changes to your lifestyle is to use public transport or to walk. By leaving your motor vehicle in the garage one day per week, for instance, you can save a lot of money through petrol bills and car running costs and of course you will be much a healthier person because you are also exercising.

The above are simple ways to start leading an eco green lifestyle and it is a win/win situation for you. You will be amazed how many of your friends will want to follow your lead and go green. So the decision is yours – make some small changes and gradually you will see the differences your lifestyle change has made. By adopting a few lifestyle changes to going green will impact on you and change your life forever, for the better.
