There are a lot of misconceptions about living green. Many are of the opinion that a perfect green life can only be achieved in the rural area. A lot of people believe that living green is expensive as it will require replacing processed food with a healthy diet. However, this is not true. You can live a simple green life on a very low budget and in any environment. Living green starts with the mindset.

Utility as small as fans and TV can pile up your bills when you leave them working all the time. Also, during winter or summer, a slight change like 3-5 percent lower in the level of heater and AC can save some money. We all know that these two utilities are some of the things that increase our bills.

From clothing to household appliances and furniture, these can all be purchased from second-hand stores, garages, or thrift stores. Aside from getting things from these stores, you can send some of the things you want to replace to second-hand stores and make some money from it.
