While most think Global Warming can be stopped, they aren’t doing a thing about it. There are simple things that you can do around your home to go “green” as they call it. If everyone were to try on eco friendly trend in their home, how much better could this planet be?
In a recent Real Simple magazine article, a couple in Los Angeles turned their house into an energy saving haven. They proved that you can live green without sacrficing style or comfort. Transportation was a huge issue in their family. They purchased aToyota Prius for long distance driving, and when destinations are close enough, they ride their bikes or walk. They created a website, www.Lowimpactliving.com, in which they show the world how they too can create an eco friendly living space.
Some of the hints they do give in the article include…
- Keep the ceiling fan on all ear long. Hot air rises, if you run the fan in reverse at low speed, it will help circulate the hot air.
- Recirculating water pumps save 3-5 gallons of war everytime you use it.
- Buy used furniture, stop tree-felling.
There are many other things you can do like purchasing organic food, bath linens, and fabric. One step CAN change the world, you just have to try.

Some pretty good examples. I agree that many people ignore the fact that little things done by one person can have a greater influence. Not only influence on the environment, but on others as well to do the same. We cannot get rid of it as a whole, but get used to taking gradual steps to going Green.
