The term “Going Green” is gaining ground and that’s a good thing for future generations. Conserving natural resources and putting fewer toxins into the air and less waste into landfills definitely benefits the planet. Thankfully, there are many ways to reduce your carbon footprint without reducing your quality of life. 

Preserving Water

Water is a natural resource that many take advantage of. Unfortunately, the supply is limited and the usage enormous.

The worsening climate crisis is of growing concern to everyone on the planet. Greenhouse emissions, pollution of the ocean with plastics and waste products, and the destruction of irreplaceable resources such as rain forests are causing widespread and perhaps irreparable harm on a global scale.

As the planet is on the precipice of a tipping point, private companies are taking action to save it from potentially irreversible damage. Industry leaders have urged the government to act responsibly, and they’re making concerted efforts to operate in ways that will help make forwards progress.

It’s said that the average American office worker uses as many as 10,000 sheets of paper every year.When you factor in every person in every office, that’s an awful lot of trees – isn’t it? But this figure doesn’t have to be set in stone. There are ways in which we can edge toward a paperless (or near-paperless) future, with very good reasons for doing so.

One big area in which you could make inroads into your paper consumption is when it comes to your finances. The wonders of modern technology mean that your ‘books’ no longer need to be encyclopedia-rescue works that gather dust on the shelf.
