Recently there have been a number of articles, books and tv programs springing up that provide hints and tips directed towards going green. Environmentally this is a great step, a small step by each of us provides a big step globally.
Obviously, a large number of you out there have begun to adjust your lifestyles towards that of a green-style. So for those of you who are only starting to consider going green, be it for environmental reasons, or merely to save yourself a few pounds in our current econimic crisis, I have made a short list of a few things that you can do that will improve not only your carbon footprint, but also help towards the global aim.
1. Car share - saves fuel
2. Change from Car to Bike - saves money on fuel and reduces emissions.
3. Grow a garden - If you have space, either a normal flower garden (which improves biodiversity) or a vegetable patch (providing food) can be a great way to help.
4. Avoid Fast food - for your health and that of the planet - a very high percentage of rubbish on highways in America is from MacDonalds. This is not Maccy D's fault, it is the publics faults
5. The three big R's - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
These are just a few things you can do towards going green. Obviously, another simple act is to join an environmental group such as the CCW, WWF, RSPB or The National Trust.

The only way to save Planet Earth is to unite and work together, one country being environmentally sound is not enough if all the others continue as they are. Only standing together can we win
