47 Tips to Go Green!

Here is an in depth list of 47 ways you can GO GREEN! Most of the tips
here are free and relatively easy to employ. So YOU can start to help
the earth today. A lot of these tips will help you save money as well as
the environment. If you don't have the time to read it all at once you
should bookmark this page or subscribe. Share this with your friends so
we can reach a wider audience and make a bigger impact!



1. Use public transport when you can. This reduces carbon emissions as well as being a lot cheaper for you.



2. Invest your money in renewable energy.
This is a great way to make an impact. Buying solar panels or a wind
turbine can be costly, but they pay for themselves in the long run. If
you are making more energy than you use, then you can even sell your
excess energy back to the grid. However it doesn't have to cost
thousands, there are many new technologies that you can create yourself
for the cost of a take-out.

See: Energy By Tesla



3. Recycle. Recycling a tin can uses only 4% of the energy it takes to
make a new one from scratch. Some scrapyards will even buy your old
cans, so get saving!



4. Re-use. This is even better than recycling as no energy is required to re-use a plastic carrier bag for example.



5. Buy green products. For example when shopping pick up a 'bag for life' instead of a plastic carrier bag.



6. Take part in car share schemes. These are beneficial for everyone
involved. If your local area does not have car share schemes (a quick
Google search to find out), then ask friends or family who go the same
way as you.



7. Grow your own crops. You do not have to own a farm. Just plant some
fruit or vegetables in your garden and cut your food costs while helping
the environment. However be careful when using pesticides as these can
harm your local ecosystem.



8. Buy energy efficient appliances. Buy kitchen appliances that are
'energy efficient' and use less energy. This will reduce your
electricity bill and your carbon emissions.



9. Don't buy bottled water. It is no different from tap water in most
countries. If it is not regulated in your country then buy a cheap
filter for your tap.



10. Wash your clothes with cold water. Around 90% of the energy used to
power your washing machine is used to heat the water. It is not
necessary to heat the water, it is a waste of money and harmful to our
environment.



11. If you must drive, de-clutter your car. Taking all the unneccessary
items out of your car before driving will reduce the weight of your car.
Less weight means less fuel, which means more money for you and less emissions for planet earth. So take that old toolbox out of the boot.



12. Buy locally. Buying food from local suppliers has many benefits. It
means there are less trucks transporting things in bulk (releasing
emissions in bulk) and it keeps money in your local economy.



13. Line dry your clothes. If the sun is out of course. This means you
can reduce your thermostat reducing your energy bills and carbon
footprint.



14. Instead of driving to the shop, walk! If it is only down the road
then it wouldn't take much effort. This will help you be more green
while improving your health and saving you money at the same time!



15. Unplug unused chargers and aplliances at night. This will stop
'phantom' energy. The energy that leaks out of unused appliances without
you knowing.



16. Don't leave appliances on standby. This wastes a lot of energy per
year and a lot of money for you. Turning appliances off fully when not
in use will save more than you think.



17. When printing documents, print double-sided pages. This saves paper which saves trees and money.



18. Switch to renewable energy suppliers. There are many energy
suppliers which focus on providing clean energy. Do some research and
switch today.



19. Power saving. Use power saving options on your phone, laptop,
television etc. Have them shutdown automatically if they are idle or
reducing the brightness can reduce energy consumption.



20. Rather than buying a book, reading it once then leaving it to
clutter your house, borrow it from your local library. This will save
you money as well as re-using.



21. Buy a 'smart eco strip'. These are extension cables that sense when
appliances are idle and stop phantom power leakage. These would be
especially useful in offices where there are many computers or
appliances.



22. Invite your biggest friends round for dinner (which you have made
from your own produce. ;) ) and tell them you want to move your fridge
away from the oven. Doing so will stop the fridge using excess energy to
overcome the heat produced by your oven. This is a very simple tip that
will save a lot more energy than you think. As always, reducing your
energy consumption means reducing your bill.



23. Invest in a dishwasher. There are multiple benefits to this. Using a
dishwasher will use less energy than washing the pots by hand, as well
as less water. This mean you save water, energy to heat the excess water
and time to wash the pots.



24. Turn down your thermostat. Yes listen to your Nan. Stick on a jumper, turn down the heating and turn down your energy bill.



25. Use the sun wisely. If the sun is out and your house is cold, open
your blinds or curtains. This will heat up your home. Meaning your
central heating wont have to use as much energy.



26. Check your lightbulbs. If you have incandescent lightbulbs, then
your not keeping up with the Jones'. When your old lightbulbs run out,
buy compact flourescent bulbs. These use 75% less energy and last up to
ten times longer on average. Great tactic to save energy and money!



27. Free-cycle. One mans trash is another mans treasure. If you're
going to bin something that you think someone else could use, then give
it away. What's the harm in free-cycling?



28. Insulate your home. This can be costly but will help you save in the
long run. Most heat is lost through the roof of your home, so consider
loft insulation. Also if you don't already have double-glazed windows,
then I highly recommend you invest. A quick Google search will point you in the right direction.

See: Home Improvements To Conserve Energy



29. Turn off the lights. Sounds pretty obvious and patronizing, but lots
of people forget. Make it your goal to turn off the lights if you're
not in the room.



30. Even better, use candles where appropriate. The candlelight might
even raise the romance of the self produced meal with your partner. ;)



31. Take a shower instead of the bath. If you must get a bath however,
share the water with your partner. Taking a quick shower will use only a
small percentage of the energy used to run a bath, saving you energy
and money.



32. Instead of buying CDs, download music online. It is usually cheaper for you and always better for the environment.



33. Don't watch television everyday. Play games with your family such as
monopoly etc. This will also help you to bond with your family even
better. Preferably go out with your family to a natural tourist area.
The Lake District in the UK is a good example.



34. If you drink beer, don't buy cans. Buying glass bottled beer is much
more efficient for the environment. Just make sure you recycle when
your done.



35. Donate cash
to green causes. Preferably in your local area. This means you are
keeping money in your local economy and helping the environment. You may
find your money has been used to build more green spaces in your local
area which you can use! Again, a Google search will get you there.



36. Donate to charity clothes shops. This is great because it is reusing and for a good cause.



37. Use solar powered chargers. If a wind turbine or solar panels aren't
right for you just yet there are many smaller renewable appliances you
can buy. 'Changers' solar charger is a great example.



38. Eat lower on the food chain. Eating meat is not sustainable for our
current rising population. Energy is lost as we move up the trophic
levels of the food chain. Eating vegetables is the best way to help the
environment, however you must get your daily protein as it is imperative
for good health. Check with a nutrition before changing your current
diet as it is a very complex subject.



39. Keep your car tires inflated. This will help you use less petrol saving money and reducing carbon emissions.



40. Reduce consumption. Do you really need that new fuel guzzling 4x4?
Buy an efficient vehicle unless you live in the middle of the grand
canyon.



41. Look for fair trade labels. Usually fair trade products have a
lower impact on the environment and reward the local producers fairly.



42. Drive at the speed limit. Not only is it dangerous to break the
speed limit, yet it also uses more fuel and releases more emissions.



43. Driving in higher gears can also reduce fuel consumption. Therefore reducing emissions and saving money



44. Ask your boss to see if you can work from home. This may not be
suitable for everybody but it would reduce travel costs for those of you
that can.



45. Use your microwave where appropriate. It is more efficient than using the oven, saving energy and money.



46. The best thing you could do for the environment, with the littlest
effort, is to share this post with your friends/family/followers to
spread the word and make the biggest impact possible.



47. Subscribe to this blog for more advice on going green and information about what you can do to help and prevent climate change.

50 Blog Directory Sites List 2014- Promote your blog with Blog Directories Submission

Blog
Submission Sites -For any blogger,
online marketer, or webmaster who are looking to increase Google page rank,
SEO, and backlinks for their blogs or websites- here is this great list of top
100 best, free, unique blog submission sites and article submission directories
where you can automatically/manually submit links of your blogs or websites for
free of cost.

All
these blog submission sites are top listed best directories for free blogs
submission, websites submission, and articles submission. Though, for getting
huge and fastest backlinks you can subscribe to their paid directory submission
services . All these free and the best directory sites are very useful and SEO
friendly. Your blog or website gets targeted one way incoming or inbound links
from these best blog directories and, as a result your site gets ranked high for SERPs through these back links. All the
below listed blog submission sites and article submission directories are free
to use, and are listed  according to their Google Page Rank (PR1-PR10),
and Global Alexa rank.Many of them don’t require you to register or sign up for
link or url submission. Some directories ask for a reciprocal link from you.

How
do you get your blog onto the internet blog directories?

There are lots of different directories available, and you will notice
few of them not listing blogs free. But, there are thousands of such directories
that accept free submision, so you need not fret--



Just before you put your blog onto a directory site, make certain that
you recognize exactly what your blog key words are. What type/category it comes
under and fill the details correctly.  When you register your blog site,
these will be needed. You do not intend to take down arbitrary keyword
phrases/description in an initiative to obtain your blog noticed anywhere and
all over.



You know what it seems like to stumble upon a site that has absolutely
nothing to do with your search term, so picture exactly what a blog site reader
would certainly feel when they discover your blog!



Do not let your potential visitors go away!



Make your content understandable and worth returning to. There are many blog authors
out there which do not also spell correctly or create with feeling, and you do
have to establish yourself aside from the rest. Make certain that your blog
site is fully functional and full with the content prior to put it on a blog
directory.



These are just a couple of ideas that you may would like to keep in mind
before you begin putting your blog down in blog directories. To learn more, go
to the About and FAQ parts of blog directories to see just what rules you
require to comply with, and the extent of the reach of the directory site. With
great preparation and great key words, and also good content, you will be
successful in blogging.



In the very same way that Google indexes specific web sites and puts
them under the appropriate keyword phrase, so can you increase your blog's
presence over a blog directory.
