Seven Lazy Ways to Go Green

by Evan Shamoon on July 12, 2008 at 01:21 PM



If "going green" sounds great but not quite groovy enough to "get off the sofa," Unplggd has compiled seven ways for you to do some good without doing too much ... anything. The tips range from recycling your obsolete gadgets to swapping out your incandescent bulbs for energy-saving CFL alternatives (which use 80 percent less energy).
Some tips are a bit obvious ("wash your clothes on lower heat settings!"), but they're all practical and you should really be following them.

Oh, and there's water-saving option in there as well. If you've got an old toilet, you can save water every time you pee: simply put a water bottle filled with water into your cistern to bring it up to date. Pottytime! [Source: Unplggd]
