I found these facts on Mercola’s website, and are presented by Gary Halbert, marketing guru.

Cheap Ways To Go Green
July 29th, 2009 By: Brittany
Plant it Forward
Can there ever to be much green to go around. I don’t think so personally. Like many of our community members I am looking to use greener products and buy greener foods for my family. Going green does not mean you have to max out your money on products that are more expensive, in fact there are plenty of ways and plenty of items that are cheap ways to save your green.
These ideas come from Kiplinger
Replacing your light bulbs with compact florescent light bulbs (CFLs) can save you 50% on your annual lighting bill. If every U.S. household did this, it would prevent the release of as much greenhouse gas as removing 8 million cars from the road for a year. The nonprofit Energy Federation sells CFLs for less than most retailers, at $3 to $10 each.
Eat fresh. Buy produce from local farmers rather than at the grocery store. These foods are fresher and cleaner then most standard stories. LocalHarvest lets you search for farms and farmers markets by zip code.
Use a programmable thermostat. This is a cheap and easy fix to bring down your energy usage. You can get one for about $30 and it can save you more than $100 a year on your energy bills. There’s no reason to heat or cool and empty house, so set your thermostat to kick on just when you’ll be around. If just one household in 10 did this, the change would prevent more than 17 billion pounds of greenhouse gases, according to the Energy Star Action Guide.

Taking Time To Breath At The Beach
July 28th, 2009 By: Brittany
Top 5 reasons to head to the beach:
1. Leave the stress behind. At the beach we can leave our work behind, and take full advantage of time with our families and ourselves.
2. The beach provides better atmosphere, and for us in Oregon better air. Take a walk on the beach and fill your body with cleaner air.
3. Dig your feet into the sand, build sand castles, and watch the sunrise over the water. None of that sounds too bad to me.
