Tips for Living a Greener, Healthy Lifestyle on a Budget
In the current economy, we’re looking for ways to live better and greener, for less. Here are some tips on how to incorporate simple, budget-friendly changes into your daily routine.
• Turn Back the Thermostat
Save as much as 10% a year on heating and cooling bills by simply turning the thermostat back 10-15% for 8 hours.
• Use Ceiling Fans
Decreasing the temperature of a house with a fan instead of air conditioner can save energy and money on monthly electricity bills.
• Reduce Bottled Water Purchases
Instead use a reusable bottle with water filtered by PUR Water or a similar product. This small change can save one person up to $600 every year.*
• Tap Into the Freebies
Instead of paying high fees for gym classes, borrow workout DVDs from a local library. Bodies need variety to stay in shape and it can make working out more fun!
• Know When NOT to Cut Corners
Regular doctor appointments are essential to avoiding future complications that could lead to large medical bills.
* Reducing up to 3,200 water bottles and saving up to $600 per year based on comparing annual capacity and average price of PUR faucet mount system and 3 refills based on filter life expectancy to corresponding number and average price of 16 oz. water bottles.
