If you’re a nature freak this will either frighten you or make you extremely happy and amused. In this article you will learn about the different ways you can turn this environment around from a bad to a good to a better. It will also teach you how to actually use the things around your house to stay warm rather than spending money on fire wood or other heating devises. So, let’s sit down, relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy the topics about to be discussed.

The year is now officially two thousand and ten and a lot of things are about to unfold. If you’re a smart person you will understand the holidays aren’t getting any cheaper and the more technology coming out every month will put a dent on your wallet. One way you can green up your holidays this year is by doing some simple things. In fact don’t wait until the holiday’s to use some of these ideas. Buy used from now on. Rather than waiting for the prices to drop, sometimes someone has already given up the item you so preciously want. Speaking of someone giving up the item you want donate your unwanted or unused items. Perhaps that scarf that you don’t need because you’re in the middle of the desert might help a kid in Alaska stay warm this year.

If you’re looking for ways to save money you can try eating in rather than eating out. Every restaurant, across the globe, over charges for the food you can make at home. Open up grandma’s cookbook and see what’s in store for you tonight. There are plenty of ways to save money. You can try reading a book, rather than watching TV, bringing your electric bill down a little. Don’t take those long showers that you love, shorten them just a little to save on the water bill. The shorter the shower, the more refreshed you might feel. Not to mention the amount you will enjoy it next time. If you have a fireplace, try burning your waste. When you sent it to the recycling plant they’ll burn it anyways. Enjoy knowing that the toilet paper roll won’t be just trashed, it’ll be used. If you have rabbits or bunnies you can use the toilet paper roll to hide treats in them.

One more way to go green this year is to increase the efficiency in burning recycled waste. Just like in the previous paragraph, when you burn your own waste it actually helps the environment as well as your pocket. Burning natural logs does not have to be bad for the environment. Take the time and chop your own wood. When the wood sits in the store, chemicals get thrown on it to keep the wood from drying out and staying fresh. The more dry the log, the longer it will burn. Remember one very important thing. Sometimes the older ways are the best. Grandpa wasn’t joking with you when he said listen to his teachings.

In conclusion being environmentally sound and economy friendly will help you not spend too much and give you the happiness of knowing you accomplished something. You’ll teach the rulers of tomorrow that by doing something today will prevent the end of tomorrow. A lot of people believe the end is near with 2012 coming around the corner. If so, let’s make it a good one!
