“Going green” has been all the rage for many years now. Whether you believe in global warming or not, taking small, painless steps to help protect the natural beauty and bounty of our world is something with which we can all get on board. Here are a few small steps that you can take to green up your daily life:
- Change out old traditional light bulbs with energy efficient light bulbs (compact fluorescent light bulb, or CFLs for short).
- When buying new appliances or electronics like TVs or computers, check for the ENERGY STAR, which signifies that they use less energy to run and are therefore more efficient.
- Whenever possible, as the season permits in many cases, eat locally grown foods from your local farmers market. Not only will you be supporting your local economy, you’ll be saving the environment from more emissions as a result from less transportation costs.
- Buy recycled products - and recycle your trash. In addition, steer clear of products that use excessive packaging. Swanson Health Products is proud of the fact that we don’t waste space in our packaging or bottles. Unlike potato chip bags, we fill our bottles right to the top!
