If you’re like me you want to go green but you just can’t figure out how to do so. The simplest way to start going green is to start with changing your habits at home. I suggest you start with changing the products you use for daily household cleaning tasks.
There are many environmentally friendly products available and many can be purchased on a budget. For basic household cleaning I love and suggest Method or Seventh Generation products. They have a wide range of products available from dish detergent, to hand soap to laundry detergent. You can find these products easily at your local big box store or online.
Many times online retailers offer discounted prices on their products if you shop with them and find discounted codes. They even offer free shipping which would save you precious time and gas. Many well known name brand companies are now offering natural alternatives to their chemically based products. Several place ads in the coupon section of your Sunday paper for additional savings.
Other ways to start transitioning to natural living at home are:
Making your own cleaning supplies using common kitchen ingredients. By doing so you will know exactly what is going into your supplies.
Starting an organic garden: It’s simple to purchase seed packets, prepare your soil and begin a garden right in your back yard. Tight on space? Start out with a simple window garden and you’ll save major money.
Purchase appliances that will help you clean and live a natural life. A big thing now is cleaning with steam. Steam cleaners are environmentally friendly and inexpensive.
