Although it may seem like a chore to live a green lifestyle, Yemane Abraham states that it is easier than most people think. Here Yemane Abraham offers some easy tips on how to go green in your own household. 

 ·        Change your light bulb. Yemane Abraham notes that one of the easiest ways to start to implement an eco-friendly lifestyle is to install compact fluorescent bulbs into your lighting fixtures. These bulbs use about seventy-five percent less electricity and last ten times longer than standard light bulbs.

·         Unplug electronics that glow. Yemane Abraham states that a lot of electronics will continue to use electricity when you turn them off. If you have anything with an LED display that glows after turning it off, it is best to unplug it. Yemane Abraham warns that televisions, cell phone chargers, and printers are all likely culprits.

·         Recycle your electronics. Yemane Abraham notes that we live in a society that goes through electronics at the speed of light. Last year, Americans threw away 5.5 billion pounds of electronics. Yemane Abraham states that it is important to recycle or sell these unused goods to ensure that unnecessary amounts of lead are kept out of the ground.

·         Buy local produce. Yemane Abraham states that another easy way to go green is to buy your greens from a local vendor. When you buy produce from the grocery store, the goods had to travel thousands of miles before reaching its destination. Buying from a local farmer will result in less carbon emissions.
