Green Isn’t Tough

Remember Kermit the Frog? He said, “It’s not easy being green”. Well, sorry Kermy, you are wrong, it is EASY being green.
Not only is it easy, but it is worth it. I have had family members ask why they should go green. They say, “Pero para que? No voy a salvar el mundo.” I know we can’t save the world by ourselves, but every little bit helps.
Not only does it help the earth, it also helps to bulk up our wallets and slim our waist. With the new year’s come those awesome resolutions that we normally forget by Martin Luther King’s Birthday. But, if you establish a green lifestyle, it will help you keep your resolutions a lot longer.
If you pack your lunch instead of jumping in the car and emitting carbons into our atmosphere during lunch, you can be green, save money and keep your waist slim. Te gusto la idea verdad?
You see how simple it is. Also, carpooling. This also goes for making one trip to do as much as you can. Going out? Make a list of everything you need to do while you are out and plan your trip accordingly. This will save again on carbon emissions and also, your wallet!
Instead of going to the gym, go for a walk. Take your kids on their bikes. Walk chico, your dog needs exercise too. These are all things you can do to stay green throughout the year. The less you think about it, the easier it will be to stay green.
