Make Your Own Compost

Garbage collection is getting more expensive as gas prices rise. Many cities such as San Francisco already charge by the can, and many more are now refusing to collect yard clippings and leaves. Composting takes care of that unwanted garbage, and saves you money by reducing the amount that you put out on the curb. According to the U.S. EPA, about a quarter of all the trash in the U.S. are materials that could be composted instead of thrown away.

Drive a Small Car

When it comes to cars and the environment, bigger is never better! Next time you're ready to buy or lease, go small and lessen the damage your driving does to the environment. The carbon emissions from the cars we drive are some of the biggest contributors to global warming and air pollution. More than half of a 2-car family's carbon emissions come from the vehicles they drive, according to the Inter Press Service. Despite the rise of the SUV, fuel economy is now a crucial factor in car purchasing decisions.
