There are many organic and eco-friendly products out there in order to better your health and the earth.  Here are my top 5 products that can be used in order to live a greener life.   

1. Organic clothing

2. “Green” paint

3. Organic cleaning products

4. Florescent light bulbs

5. Bed Sheets

It may not seem like it, but every little bit counts when it comes to green living.  Even if you make it your mission to start saving water by turning it off when brushing your teeth, in the end it will make a difference.  Here are some helpful tips to get you started.

1. Change to florescent light bulbs–If every house in the US changed all their bulbs, it would equal taking one million cars off the streets

2. Dry clothes on a rack instead of dryer–Saves energy

3. Recycle glass and plastic containers–Glass takes a million years to decompose, so it’s definitely doing the environmemt a favor

4. Turn off the lights when you leave the room–Saves electricity and money

5. Shorten your shower by a minute–Every minute you cut saves about 5 gallons of water

6. Use warm or cold water instead of hot when washing clothes–Saves a lot of energy each year

7. Pay bills online–If every house in the US did this it would save 18 million trees each year

8. Use a reusable water bottle–saves plastic 

9. Make your own cleaning supplies–organic cleaning solutions are better for you and the earth…and they are cheaper

10. Don’t preheat the oven–put the dish in right when you turn the oven on
