5 Easy Steps Toward ‘Green’ Living
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
At Bluegreen Communities, we pride ourselves in our company-wide green initiatives that work toward improving quality of life for our children and grandchildren. While the concept of "going green" may feel overwhelming at a glance, we understand that small steps make a difference and that individual contribution will lead to an environmentally-responsible future.
To enlighten our friends and family in the community, we've highlighted five easy steps toward green living:
- Purchase eco-friendly indoor cleaning supplies- Did you know? All-purpose cleaners commonly cause indoor pollution and allergies. Find an eco-friendly cleaner for your indoor spills that is effective and safe.
- Clothe your table in organic - Don't limit yourself just to organic food! Make a statement by decorating your table with eco-friendly cloth.
- Recycle- You can recycle appliances, batteries and even ink jet cartridges. Have an old pair of reading glasses? You can recycle those, too!
- Give your bathroom a makeover- With a room that houses the shower and toilet, you can bet that this location might need a water consumption overhaul. Invest in low-flow toilets and showerheads to reduce water usage.
- The Green Pet- Even your four-legged friend can join in! Explore eco-friendly options that help monitor your pet's diet, skin care and flea treatment.

These are some great tips. I think it’s important for people to KNOW that every little bit helps. People shy away from “greenER” lifestyles because they believe they can’t “save the world”, but what they don’t realize is like the small donations offered to people who’ve suffered from a disaster (i.e. Haiti, Katrina etc…) every LITTLE bit makes a HUGE difference not only for the environment but for their own health!
