Many aspects in how I live support the going green movement. There are the fluorescent light bulbs in the majority of our apartment light sockets, the low flush toilet, keeping the patio screen door open instead of running the air conditioner, skateboarding instead of driving and shopping online instead of adding to traffic in the city. The funny thing is that each one of these going green methods also saves me money. I am all for saving the environment but am quicker to act when it affects the bottom line.
Clicking buy for one of the millions of products sold online saves me money at the pump, from a time perspective and on the product. It is a triple win. The trick is buying online before you need it right away. There is always going to be shipping time avoided locally but if the savings is high enough then I don’t mind waiting. In that respect my mindset is always to buy earlier then later to save in the long run. I can also say that with every web retailer purchase I’m lowering my daily carbon footprint. That is something any environmentalist would commend.
