Going Green and Saving Money
We’ve been hearing that coined phrase a lot lately, but what does it mean? It means
that we do things to help conserve our limited resources and save the earth. What can
we do to help Mother Earth? This is an easy one.
I have been trying for some time to help the planet in my own way, but I will share some
of the things you can do to help our planet. Some suggestions are:
Don’t run the tap water while you are brushing your teeth and doing the dishes.
Use old maps as wrapping paper. (I was recently at a baby shower and the person
having the shower asked that no presents be wrapped to save on paper. A card was
attached to each gift!) Reuse gift bags and save wrapping paper from another gift, if
possible. Use recycled paper for your gifts. Gift cards are a handy gift so that your gift
recipient can get exactly what (s)he needs and there’s no wrapping!
Use cloth napkins on your table rather than wasting countless paper napkins per meal.
You are doing laundry anyway, so just toss them into the washing machine when
needed.
Turn off the TV or lights when you go into another room for any length of time. As my
father used to say to my mother when we were young, “What is this, a light house?”
Save energy when possible.
Keep air conditioning down to 74-76 degrees if it is a programmable unit, otherwise you
can always just turn it to medium.
Keep heat at 68 degrees or lower in the winter. A sweater goes a long way to keeping
one warm.
Refill plastic water bottles with filtered water, iced or green tea, Crystal Light or
anything else you like to drink. You can reuse these bottles many times before
throwing them in the recycle bin.
Get solar panels on your home so that the utility companies will pay you for your
electricity.
Don’t do the laundry unless you have a full load of clothes. There are always
exceptions, but if this is your general rule of thumb, you will be saving the planet.
Print on the back side of used paper if you can or use the paper for scrap. Save a tree
and save money by not having to buy as much new paper for your home printer.
Plant trees around your yard for the natural way to cool down your home during the hot
summer months.
Bring a ceramic mug into work with you so you don’t have to use paper or Styrofoam
cups. Encourage other employees to do the same.
Borrow books from a library or buy used books to save trees. Swap them among your
family or with your friends.
Magazines can also be passed around. The impact on trees would be extraordinary
and you will save some money in the meantime.
Instead of buying $4 lattes, bring your own travel mug to work with home brewed coffee
or tea. You are saving money and paper cups.
If you are having a BBQ or party in your home, think of using your regular dishes and
silverware which can be washed and reused. Most of us have several sets of dishes
so it can be fun to mix and match dinnerware. The dishwasher is an efficient way of
cleaning your dishes afterwards and again, you’ve saved the planet.
Buy seasonal food locally which requires less energy to produce it than food that is
grown out of season. Support local farmers!
Remember making a menu for your meals? Try thinking of what you will need for each
meal for the week so that you don’t buy unnecessary items or have to make additional
trips to the store. Stick to your grocery list and try to stop impulse buying.
Look around in your cabinets. Do you have enough food for the meal you would like to
make? Is there another meal inside of your cabinet that you didn’t know you had?
Clean out your freezer and refrigerator. Eat leftovers or at least know what you have
so that you don’t duplicate your purchase and may have to throw away more food.
Use reusable shopping bags instead of paper or plastic. Many have them in their car
trunks but never get them into the stores. Store them in the back seat so you will easily
see them for any shopping visits.
How much food do you throw away in a week? Maybe portion reduction would be
appropriate for you and your family. All this waste adds up to dollars you can have in
the bank.
Make a circular route to all of the places you need to go so that you don’t waste
gasoline or time.
If you are buying new appliances, get the efficient energy savings rated ones.
Have your home checked for window, door or attic leaks. If your home is not air tight,
you are throwing your heating and air conditioning dollars away every hour of the day
and night.
Get low flow shower heads and/or chlorine filters for your shower head. Apparently, we
are absorbing 100 times of chlorine into our skin in an average 10 minute shower just
as if we were drinking 100 glasses of tap water. That’s pretty unsettling.
Use a compost pile in your yard rather than throwing out food into the garbage which
gets piled into dump sites. You will have helped the planet and will be starting to have
some pretty good soil for your own plants and trees.
Sell stuff you don’t want on eBay, Craigslist or have a garage sale. You will be getting
a few dollars for your unwanted stuff and may be helping someone else get a perfectly
good used item that (s)he would have otherwise had to purchase new.
Buy reusable or recycled products.
Buy bulk items which reduce wasteful packaging.
Buy biodegradable plates and utensils instead of disposable ones.
Reuse boxes or cartons to ship your own items.
You can buy used furniture at auctions, the Salvation Army, a garage sale or off of the
web. Much furniture is in very good condition and is a fraction of the cost and it keeps
you from buying new.
Buy two year old cars. New cars lose 20% of their value just driving off of the lot. You
can get a good car for less money and a new car did not have to be produced just for
you.
Use reusable containers instead of aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
Car pool to work, a party or an event to save on gasoline.
Bring in a lunch from home to save you money. Even if you only spend $5 a day on
lunch and $3 a day on coffee, that’s $8 a day, $40 per week, $160 per month or $1820
a year (probably the price of a great vacation!).
If you have leftovers you won’t eat this week, freeze them for another time. I usually
make a larger meal so that my fiancé and I can eat well when we may not have time to
cook because of an appointment or event.
Rent DVDs and Videos from the library for free instead of renting them from Netflix or
Blockbuster. Borrow books from the library or friends instead of buying new.
Visit local state parks which are usually free and close to home.
Take walks with your loved ones or to walk a pet for exercise and entertainment.
When having a picnic or BBQ, ask your guests to bring a bottle of wine, side dish or
dessert to offset the cost of the party. You will also have time to enjoy your guests
because you didn’t have to prepare everything yourself.
Use windshield wiper fluid to clean indoor windows and mirrors. This is a big savings
over Windex and being this was formulated for outdoor use, it gets rid of dirt and grime
easily.
Use newspapers to clean the windows and mirrors. They clean better and you are not
wasting paper towels.
Buy recycled paper products such as bath tissue and paper towels.
Set up a paperless bill paying system with your bank or your creditor’s website. You
don’t have to pay postage, use an envelope and waste time writing a check!
Less than 20% of all plastic bottles are recycled. Many are thrown into the ocean and
can last for several hundred years before breaking down. That makes us rethink the
use of plastic in our lives.
I hope you can use some of these helpful hints to save our planet and keep some
money in your pocket at the same time!

ARIES - March 20 – April 19
Good luck seems to finally be following you around so get out and do what
you want to be doing instead of only always handling your responsibilities.
You need to flourish and grow. You should try to work on your own self
cultivation and interests. Do you have time for yourself? When was the last
time you tried your hand at one of your hobbies? Are you stressed and
unfulfilled? Handle one or two major responsibilities each day but leave time
for you to learn, be nurtured and accumulate knowledge. What a great time to
have some fun and let go of your overpowering responsibilities and
obligations. Romantic relationships are fun and you should try to get away to
interesting and secluded destinations for a mini vacation. Try to lighten up
and chill a little. Your hectic life style is not healthy. Be resourceful with your
money as you seem to want to spend it like it’s going out of style. Buy new
clothes to replace outdated fashions, but you may not need as much as you
think you do. Feeling carefree and as if life is finally giving you the small
break deserve to get your life back on track, makes you feel refreshed,
relaxed and ready for more challenges.
’ TAURUS - April 20 – May 19
Partnership issues and relationships are of key importance now. New
beginnings, good communication and new adventures seem to be before you,
so nurture the energy while it is here. You are endeavoring to go into so
many wonderful directions and receive splendid opportunities to help push
you to a bright future. You are strong (and yet a bit insecure) about taking
these big steps, but you can do it. Life is interesting, especially with your
romantic partner. Many new wonderful opportunities are being presented to
you regarding business and personal partnerships; however, there is much
going on to confuse the situation as well. You need to decide what you need
from a relationship and then choose whether or not your current partner
helps you meet those goals. Some challenges appear in school or your
career. Perhaps thinking of changing your viewpoint on issues would help
you understand things that have eluded you. Be positive about changes in
your life and go with the flow since change is inevitable and it might as well
be in your best interest.
“ GEMINI - May 20 – June 20
Dealing with many issues regarding business and personal partnerships can
be confusing and exhausting. Miscommunication and a loss of wonderful
opportunities are possible if you don’t get on the right track. There is just too
much to do, but because you are overwhelmed and not as organized as you
normally are, many opportunities will pass you by. You wish you had more
time to do the mundane tasks in life like clean the house, pay the bills, do the
grocery shopping, etc. and yet you are glad that your creative juices are
flowing and that you are handling your artistic and spiritual sides. Getting
your important papers in order seems to be on your mind, so just do it and get
on with your life. Organization, prioritizing and securing your life seems to
help you understand what you need to positively proceed in to your future.
Hard work, study, social events and volunteer work help you network and get
your name out there a lot quicker than staying home and doing accomplishing
little around the house or with home projects. Things have been crazy lately,
but they will calm down soon. Handle the many little jobs you need to get
done so you can clear your mind of the clutter. You should take a new class in
jewelry making, painting, poetry, writing, etc., to get those creative juices
flowing again.
” CANCER - June 21 – July 21
Finances are your main concern, yet again. Things are going in a positive
direction for you, but you need to make some hard decisions about your
money and possessions. How important are they to you? Is your family more
important? You may find out that money and possessions aren’t the only
things you need in this lifetime. Moon children are trying to make a very
secure future for their loved ones, but they do get sidetracked easily so keep
on your path and go to the future and find wonderful rewards. Long distance
travel, higher education (including training classes, lectures, seminars,
workshops, etc.) will benefit you on your job or in getting a better job. Focus
on the many great opportunities that are around you so you can grab them
and make them a reality. Dealing with financial issues would also help you to
focus on your future goals. Changes in home life seem positive, so don’t be
afraid to go with the flow now as you are in control of your destiny (even if you
don’t believe it!). Compromise should be your family’s mantra this month. Be
smart and let others do the talking. Your job is to listen and acknowledge
others.
• LEO - July 22 – August 22
This is a great time to make a plan of action about your direction in life.
Taking control of your situations would help you move in that direction. Even
when situations do not go your way, your determination and persistence make
anything possible. Travel, higher education and your philosophies of life will
aide you to get to your desired goal. Stop thinking on such a grand scale and
take care of the small stuff first so that the larger stuff can take care of
itself. Learning how to react in all situations helps you feel more
confident and as if you can take on the world. Your tolerance levels are
improving and you realize that not everyone can be exactly like you or have
your unbelievably high standards. Start celebrating the differences around
you rather than relying on consistency. Romance is also in the air. If already
attached, it seems that you will most likely have a change of heart and want to
change things about the relationship or change the relationship itself! If not
attached, you will finally want to commit to the one you love. Try to show the
ones you love how much you really care about them by showing them
affection and attention.
– VIRGO - August 23 – September 21
Career issues seem to be moving in a different direction and they seem very
positive! You feel more in control of your life and its direction as you start to
see the accomplishments and kudos that others are giving you for your
contributions. Even though you may be somewhat pessimistic about some
areas of life, your spirit will lift as things you’ve wanted start coming to you.
Career seems to be the most important issue around you this month. You use
your intellect and logic to get to your goals, but you may also find yourself
expressing yourself much too much. You may be totally misunderstood now
so choose your words carefully. Expansion and promotions are on the horizon
and if you play the game. It will be much easier for your company to finally
recognize what you do for them. If self employed, this is an excellent time to
expand and try new markets as success is in the air. Scattered energy,
intellectual abilities, a zest for life and work push you to so many positive
avenues. Be open to opportunities so that when opportunity knocks, you can
open the door.
— LIBRA - September 22 – October 22
Friendships may change or will be strained by an event or situation that you
are not comfortable with. Talk things out or you may lose someone close to
you or someone whom you depend upon. You may also be handling many
situations for others as well, so get your life in order before helping those
you love. You want action, change and to keep going in a positive direction
so join groups, travel, have fun and meet new people. You shine this month,
so be prepared for adventure. Networking is an important tool to help you
accomplish your goals. More friends come into your life and you seem to
make very important partnerships with them. Joining associations and
volunteer organizations will help you achieve some of your goals. Start
visualizing which hopes, dreams and wishes you would like to manifest and
start promoting them as a positive thought each day. Don’t handle too many
obligations and responsibilities as you usually do. Balance is the key to a
happier life. This is a great time to let others pay you back for all the
kindnesses you have given them throughout the years. Smile and just say
thank you to those who wish to help and you will be surprised at how easy it
will be to accomplish everything.
˜ SCORPIO - October 23 – November 21
It seems as if many situations are unfolding and you are trying to sort through
them all. Prioritize your list so that you deal with only the most important
issues now. You can always do the small stuff later. Changing your
appearance, going for a makeover, taking a class to learn something new and
deciding what you truly want out of life is before you. Choose wisely. Much
good luck and positive energy seems to favor you, so do the impossible. You
want to accomplish so much, but your scattered energy and varied obligations
keep you from fulfilling your dreams. Creativity and illusion play an important
role in relationships, so see reality for what it is. Partnerships need to be re-
examined and steps taken to fix all the issues that are making you annoyed.
Be patient and tolerant now as others are trying to live up to your
expectations; however, sometimes you expect too much from others. They
will appreciate the kind words. Accept help from others. Focus on your
future results so that you attract the energy that you need to accomplish your
goals.
™ SAGITTARIUS - November 22 – December 20
This is an opportune time to budget for the things you truly need. Your wants
can come at another time. You get obsessive about saving for a particular
project or item and you will do all you can to make it happen in a relatively
short period of time. Traveling, running around like a chicken without your
head and spending money seem to be your issues for this month. Being the
soft hearted person that you are, you want to help others but this may be the
time to concentrate on your partner and yourself. Sensitivity is high and
change is in the air. Career or company differences may force you to leave
your current position for a new and better one where you will be praised for
your opinions, hard work and intellect. After dealing with so many recent
changes and challenges, it will be nice to be able to sit back and relax. Love
life is blooming; however, it just doesn’t seem that your partner and you get
too much time together due to varied obligations and responsibilities. Spend
quality time together, if possible.
š CAPRICORN - December 21 – January 18
Family issues seem to be your main concern. Deal with the outstanding
problems and do whatever you can to make peace easily. Things will settle
down and you will feel as if you’ve accomplished much. Sibling issues may
arise again; however, if you do not have siblings, then it may be issues with
those you feel are as close to you as a sibling would be. Family related issues
need to be dealt with quickly so that everyone can be at ease with each other,
friendly and peaceful. Short distance travel is activated, so go for that long
weekend trip and take a friend or family member. A lovely drive to the shore
or up to the mountains will rejuvenate you! You really need some quiet time
for contemplation or meditation since you have had too many issues on your
mind; you also need a good night’s rest. If additional training or schooling is
required (for a new career or self employment position), this is a great time to
start looking into courses for your advancement. Whatever you do to
enhance your career is very positive.
› AQUARIUS - January 19 – February 17
It is time to chill and get some relaxation and enjoyment out of life. You are
handling so much lately that you barely have time to sit down to watch TV or
read the paper. Your obligations are many, your responsibilities take up your
leisure, but with you handling so much, you will be surprised at how quickly
things will finally fall into place. There are many unusual circumstances
around your family and close friends that you may want to handle. Creativity is
enhanced now, so don’t let it pass you by. Take an adult education course in
something creative or that would help you use your imagination and
innovative abilities. Journaling your thoughts or a dream journal are fun
hobbies. Your mind is so preoccupied with so many things to do that you don’
t seem to be setting any time aside for yourself. Taking care of others is a
wonderful gift to them; however, it would be a special gift to yourself if you
thought of how to make your life a little less frantic and overwhelming by
concentrating on your needs. Handling family issues is overpowering, but
you seem to have the coolest head in the family and your stability is very
much appreciated.
œ PISCES – February 18 – March 19
There may be changes in romantic relationships or you are looking for love in
all the wrong places! Be open to having friends or family set up blind dates
as they only have your best interest at heart. Be open to meeting those who
you may feel do not meet your criteria as you may be surprised. So many
things seem to overwhelm you now, but you are going into better times with
fantastic opportunities just ahead of you. School or training is fun, but should
be used to help move you forward and not just as an escape. Moving from
your current residence, or if that is not an option, redecorating your home to
make it seem totally different will make you feel as if you have accomplished
the impossible - making your home feel the way it should, safe and secure,
beautiful and new. Things may be intense from time to time, but once you
make your mind up to go into a certain direction, you will be free to just go
and accomplish everything that is important to you.

normally are, many opportunities will pass you by. You wish you had more
time to do the mundane tasks in life like clean the house, pay the bills, do the
grocery shopping, etc. and yet you are glad that your creative juices are
flowing and that you are handling your artistic and spiritual sides. Getting
your important papers in order seems to be on your mind, so just do it and get
on with your life. Organization, prioritizing and securing your life seems to
help you understand what you need to positively proceed in to your future.
Hard work, study, social events and volunteer work help you network and get
your name out there a lot quicker than staying home and doing accomplishing
little around the house or with home projects. Things have been crazy lately,
but they will calm down soon. Handle the many little jobs you need to get
done so you can clear your mind of the clutter. You should take a new class in
jewelry making, painting, poetry, writing, etc., to get those creative juices
flowing again.
” CANCER - June 21 – July 21
Finances are your main concern, yet again. Things are going in a positive
direction for you, but you need to make some hard decisions about your
money and possessions. How important are they to you? Is your family more
important? You may find out that money and possessions aren’t the only
things you need in this lifetime. Moon children are trying to make a very
secure future for their loved ones, but they do get sidetracked easily so keep
on your path and go to the future and find wonderful rewards. Long distance
travel, higher education (including training classes, lectures, seminars,
workshops, etc.) will benefit you on your job or in getting a better job. Focus
on the many great opportunities that are around you so you can grab them
and make them a reality. Dealing with financial issues would also help you to
focus on your future goals. Changes in home life seem positive, so don’t be
afraid to go with the flow now as you are in control of your destiny (even if you
don’t believe it!). Compromise should be your family’s mantra this month. Be
smart and let others do the talking. Your job is to listen and acknowledge
others.
• LEO - July 22 – August 22
This is a great time to make a plan of action about your direction in life.
Taking control of your situations would help you move in that direction. Even
when situations do not go your way, your determination and persistence make
anything possible. Travel, higher education and your philosophies of life will
aide you to get to your desired goal. Stop thinking on such a grand scale and
take care of the small stuff first so that the larger stuff can take care of
itself. Learning how to react in all situations helps you feel more
confident and as if you can take on the world. Your tolerance levels are
improving and you realize that not everyone can be exactly like you or have
your unbelievably high standards. Start celebrating the differences around
you rather than relying on consistency. Romance is also in the air. If already
attached, it seems that you will most likely have a change of heart and want to
change things about the relationship or change the relationship itself! If not
attached, you will finally want to commit to the one you love. Try to show the
ones you love how much you really care about them by showing them
affection and attention.
– VIRGO - August 23 – September 21
Career issues seem to be moving in a different direction and they seem very
positive! You feel more in control of your life and its direction as you start to
see the accomplishments and kudos that others are giving you for your
contributions. Even though you may be somewhat pessimistic about some
areas of life, your spirit will lift as things you’ve wanted start coming to you.
Career seems to be the most important issue around you this month. You use
your intellect and logic to get to your goals, but you may also find yourself
expressing yourself much too much. You may be totally misunderstood now
so choose your words carefully. Expansion and promotions are on the horizon
and if you play the game. It will be much easier for your company to finally
recognize what you do for them. If self employed, this is an excellent time to
expand and try new markets as success is in the air. Scattered energy,
intellectual abilities, a zest for life and work push you to so many positive
avenues. Be open to opportunities so that when opportunity knocks, you can
open the door.
— LIBRA - September 22 – October 22
Friendships may change or will be strained by an event or situation that you
are not comfortable with. Talk things out or you may lose someone close to
you or someone whom you depend upon. You may also be handling many
situations for others as well, so get your life in order before helping those
you love. You want action, change and to keep going in a positive direction
so join groups, travel, have fun and meet new people. You shine this month,
so be prepared for adventure. Networking is an important tool to help you
accomplish your goals. More friends come into your life and you seem to
make very important partnerships with them. Joining associations and
volunteer organizations will help you achieve some of your goals. Start
visualizing which hopes, dreams and wishes you would like to manifest and
start promoting them as a positive thought each day. Don’t handle too many
obligations and responsibilities as you usually do. Balance is the key to a
happier life. This is a great time to let others pay you back for all the
kindnesses you have given them throughout the years. Smile and just say
thank you to those who wish to help and you will be surprised at how easy it
will be to accomplish everything.
˜ SCORPIO - October 23 – November 21
It seems as if many situations are unfolding and you are trying to sort through
them all. Prioritize your list so that you deal with only the most important
issues now. You can always do the small stuff later. Changing your
appearance, going for a makeover, taking a class to learn something new and
deciding what you truly want out of life is before you. Choose wisely. Much
good luck and positive energy seems to favor you, so do the impossible. You
want to accomplish so much, but your scattered energy and varied obligations
keep you from fulfilling your dreams. Creativity and illusion play an important
role in relationships, so see reality for what it is. Partnerships need to be re-
examined and steps taken to fix all the issues that are making you annoyed.
Be patient and tolerant now as others are trying to live up to your
expectations; however, sometimes you expect too much from others. They
will appreciate the kind words. Accept help from others. Focus on your
future results so that you attract the energy that you need to accomplish your
goals.
™ SAGITTARIUS - November 22 – December 20
This is an opportune time to budget for the things you truly need. Your wants
can come at another time. You get obsessive about saving for a particular
project or item and you will do all you can to make it happen in a relatively
short period of time. Traveling, running around like a chicken without your
head and spending money seem to be your issues for this month. Being the
soft hearted person that you are, you want to help others but this may be the
time to concentrate on your partner and yourself. Sensitivity is high and
change is in the air. Career or company differences may force you to leave
your current position for a new and better one where you will be praised for
your opinions, hard work and intellect. After dealing with so many recent
changes and challenges, it will be nice to be able to sit back and relax. Love
life is blooming; however, it just doesn’t seem that your partner and you get
too much time together due to varied obligations and responsibilities. Spend
quality time together, if possible.
š CAPRICORN - December 21 – January 18
Family issues seem to be your main concern. Deal with the outstanding
problems and do whatever you can to make peace easily. Things will settle
down and you will feel as if you’ve accomplished much. Sibling issues may
arise again; however, if you do not have siblings, then it may be issues with
those you feel are as close to you as a sibling would be. Family related issues
need to be dealt with quickly so that everyone can be at ease with each other,
friendly and peaceful. Short distance travel is activated, so go for that long
weekend trip and take a friend or family member. A lovely drive to the shore
or up to the mountains will rejuvenate you! You really need some quiet time
for contemplation or meditation since you have had too many issues on your
mind; you also need a good night’s rest. If additional training or schooling is
required (for a new career or self employment position), this is a great time to
start looking into courses for your advancement. Whatever you do to
enhance your career is very positive.
› AQUARIUS - January 19 – February 17
It is time to chill and get some relaxation and enjoyment out of life. You are
handling so much lately that you barely have time to sit down to watch TV or
read the paper. Your obligations are many, your responsibilities take up your
leisure, but with you handling so much, you will be surprised at how quickly
things will finally fall into place. There are many unusual circumstances
around your family and close friends that you may want to handle. Creativity is
enhanced now, so don’t let it pass you by. Take an adult education course in
something creative or that would help you use your imagination and
innovative abilities. Journaling your thoughts or a dream journal are fun
hobbies. Your mind is so preoccupied with so many things to do that you don’
t seem to be setting any time aside for yourself. Taking care of others is a
wonderful gift to them; however, it would be a special gift to yourself if you
thought of how to make your life a little less frantic and overwhelming by
concentrating on your needs. Handling family issues is overpowering, but
you seem to have the coolest head in the family and your stability is very
much appreciated.
œ PISCES – February 18 – March 19
There may be changes in romantic relationships or you are looking for love in
all the wrong places! Be open to having friends or family set up blind dates
as they only have your best interest at heart. Be open to meeting those who
you may feel do not meet your criteria as you may be surprised. So many
things seem to overwhelm you now, but you are going into better times with
fantastic opportunities just ahead of you. School or training is fun, but should
be used to help move you forward and not just as an escape. Moving from
your current residence, or if that is not an option, redecorating your home to
make it seem totally different will make you feel as if you have accomplished
the impossible - making your home feel the way it should, safe and secure,
beautiful and new. Things may be intense from time to time, but once you
make your mind up to go into a certain direction, you will be free to just go
and accomplish everything that is important to you.
