Keep reading and I'll discuss 5 easy and earth friendly ways to bring more green into your home. It really is easier than you think.

Bring light to the matter. Switch your light bulbs to Compact Florescent Light bulbs (CFL's). They use 75% less energy and last 10 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. Not only will you help the earth but you'll save yourself some green!

Clean up. Method makes an environmentally friendly line of really great cleaning products in some fantastic fragrances. Ditch the harsh stuff you were using and switch to this line of products which are not only gentle on the earth but also much safer for your family. They are readily available in a variety of retailers including Target. Check out www.target.com to order online.

The wet stuff. Many of us drink large amounts of water on a daily basis. Drinking it from purchased bottles not only costs a lot of money but is very bad for the earth. Think of all the plastic waste you generate in a single week. Even if you are recycling it there still has to be a better way. There is! Invest in a Brita Water pitcher and keep on hand cold, clean water from your own tap. These are available at many retailers or online pick up the Slim Pitcher for only $12.14 at www.amazon.com. If you need the water to travel in just pour into a re-usable water bottle and you are off!

Utilize the sun. If you are anything like me you use your laptop a lot. The constant charging is a huge drain on energy and your wallet. A solar powered laptop charger changes all of that. It's a bit pricey of an initial investment, retailing at $245, but it will quickly pay you pack in ways that are more than monetary. Get yours at www.greenhomeproducts.com.

Banish bugs the green way. When we spray traditional insect sprays we release harmful chemicals into the environment and put our own families in danger. Switching to a green alternative makes great sense and I've found one that really works as well as the commercial ones on the market. It's called Orange Guard and it's 100% biodegradable and non-toxic. Try it out in your own home with a two pack of 2 quart bottles for only $18 at www.greenhomeproducts.com.

Now that you see how easy it is to make a few simple changes in your own home. Embracing these ideas and the many others that are out there will help protect not only the earth but also the family you hold dear. What better reason for change can there be?
