What are some ways that you can easily "Green" your property?

Have you done anything personally to make your home more environmentally sustainable?

Obviously greening your own property begins with proper recycling. Recycling achieves sustainable living through numerous ways including reuse of materials, savings in landfill space, and savings in treatment costs due to contaminents.

The easiest thing to do around the house is changing to the compact fluorescent light bulbs rather than the traditional incandescent. You will not notice the difference immediately, but over time the savings will add up and can amount to several hundred dollars.

After you have changed all the light bulbs in the house, you can turn to your appliances for large savings. The U.S. EnergyStar program has recently given large incentives to companies for producing appliances that use electricity more efficiently. Be sure of what the purchase incentives are because certain appliances will lead to more savings than others. For example an EnergyStar dryer will lead to more savings than an EnergyStar television due to the amount of electricity that is required for operations.
