With all the talk about going green lately, we wanted to find out what you are doing to make a difference. Last month, we asked, “What is the most recent change you have taken to be more eco-friendly?” Here are the results, and a few tips of our own.
-
Installed compact florescent light bulbs – 66%
For those of you have yet to make the change, be sure to check out our guide to CFL bulbs.
-
Started recycling – 11%
If you weren’t one of these people, now is a great time to learn more about recycling.
-
Improved water conservation
We have tons of tips for conserving water from Repairing a running Toilet to Drip Irrigation
-
Switched to a car that gets better gas mileage – 8%
-
None of the above – 6%
If you’re looking for ideas, read the recap of the Clean and Green series that recently aired on CBS’ The Early Show.
