Can going green actually save you money? There’s no better time to go green than on the greenest holiday of them all – St. Patrick’s Day. At MaxLend, your alternative solution to payday loans, we know that it can be hard to start a new habit. But it may be time to take the plunge; anything to help your financials, right? Below are some great ways to go green this St. Patrick’s Day so you can start saving money and get back on your feet financially.
Say No to Single-Use Products
If you’re unsure about how to go green, start by saying no to single-use products. Take plastic water bottles, for example: Replace your single-serve habit with a reusable water bottle. Stainless steel water bottles may be the way to go. Such a small change can make a world of difference when you’re going green to save money and the environment.
Conserve Water
One of the ways to go green that can help you cut costs and save money is by cutting back on your water usage. One way you can save water is to wait until you have a full load of laundry before running your washer, or a full load of dishes before running your dishwasher. You’ll not only use less water but also less electricity – which brings us to our next method of saving money by going green.
Reduce Energy Usage
When you’re not using your TV, turn it off. When you’re not home, turn your ceiling fans off. One of the simplest and most effective ways to go green is to turn off the lights. If reducing energy usage is a long-term goal of yours, you can look into energy-efficient home appliances and electronics that can both limit emissions and lower your electricity bills.
Go Paperless
Believe it or not, nowadays some banks charge a small monthly fee for paper bill statements. Even though it may not be noticeable in the short term, this fee can be removed from your spending by going paperless. Switch to online statements for a simpler and more cost-effective solution when it comes down to going green to save money.
Start a Vegetable Garden
One of the more fun ways to go green is by starting your own vegetable garden. While you may not have a green thumb, you can begin practicing with basic vegetables that grow relatively quickly and don’t require much care. If you don’t have a garden, going green on a budget is still an easy task, especially when it comes to herbs. For example, you can plant green onions in a pot and place them on the windowsill. In many grocery stores, herbs may be sold in large quantities, most of which may be thrown out if you only use a small portion, which also means more money in the trash. While you may still have to make your grocery store rounds, growing your own vegetables is a great way to start going green to save money.
