I have really been doing my best at going green over the past two years as I try to do my part to help stave off global warming. At first I did not know where to start with my going green habits. But after looking around online at some websites that offered some great tips on going green the easy way, I have found some simple changes that one can make truly do and can make a huge difference. For example, I make sure that all of my lights I am not using are turned off and that my outdoor lights are set on timers. I have made sure to start taking shorter showers and I have also been washing my clothing using cold water as opposed to hot water, which uses more electricity. Another way of going green that has really been easy and fun is making sure that I recycle everything and anything that I can. Finally, I have also made certain to set my thermostat to a lower level by a few degrees each season to use less energy.
