Earth Day in a Consumer's World

Earth Day is today, April 22. Everyone should be extra environmentally conscious in honor of Mother Earth, but if you need more motivation, it turns out that being "green" can save you a lot of money too. Just follow these easy tips from Consumer Reports and it will be a win-win situation for both you and our climate. Also, for those of you who have followed my posts on Apple or are just fans of the brand, they have been singled out as the "least 'green' tech company" according to a recent Greenpeace report. Everyone realizes the environmental impact of cars and plastic bottles, but often times they don't think about how the "paperless" technology we use effects the environment as well. All those iPhones have to be manufactured somewhere, and if leaving lights on in your house wastes electricity think of how much energy is used powering Apple's massive servers!

So get outside to day and connect with our beautiful earth, we only have one life and one planet.

  1. A lot of the so-called “green advice” are not as good as they advertised. I started using many of the products listed in the list. For example, I changed all the light bulb around my house to CFL, and I found that the electricity had gone down a lot. Another option I installed at my home was the hybrid water heater pump. It was very good in a sense that it saved my electricity by 50 percent.
