Going Green One Step At A Time

Being green and eco-friendly is all the rage these days. Just open any newspaper or magazine and you will find articles and ads mentioning “going green” or refering to green products. Going green is not a fad. It’s here to stay. Is going green hard to do? Going green is not hard at all when taken step by step. In this article we are going to give you some simple and cost cutting steps to take in order start going green.

There are many things you can do to save money and be “eco-friendly” at the same time. The first place to apply green technology in the home is in electricity. Take a good look at your electricity bills and think about how nice it would be if you no longer had to pay them. You could save thousands! Think also about what it takes to deliver that electricity to your home.

Your power utility most likely operates on fossil fuels, and
then it has to send that electricity miles and miles through transmission lines, semi-conductors, transformers, etc. The oil and coal burned to bring you that electricity are what polutes the enviornment.

Now Im no “tree hugger” or enviornmentalist, but I am for clean air and water. I also like the idea of not buying billions of dollars of oil from our sworn enimies.The easiest and most cost effective way to cut electricity costs and carbon emissions is to build your own renewable energy system. This is easier than it sounds.

Building solar panels and/or wind turbines are the easiest and most available ways for the average person to go green with power usage. Of course there are many other can be a bit difficult the first time out. Like anything else - practice makes perfect. Getting the parts required to build solar panels can be a bit difficult if you dont know where to start. This is where many projects fail before they even get off the ground. This too was my dilema, until I bought two guides about “DIY - how to build solar panels”

The first program I tried was Earth4Energy, and the second GreenDIYenergy. Both guides included all the information I wanted to build solar panels, and where to get materials.

I’ve used both guides and I like Earth4energy a little bit more than GreenDIYenergy. E4E offered a bit more for your money and has great customer service. This is the first step I would take in going green around the
house. Energy is where the most money can be saved and has the greatest impact on the enviornment. So get started going green today!
