Environmentally-friendly and saving money… incompatible?
Can we save money while living more environmentally-friendly? Obviously if we use less electricity, natural gas, and gasoline we will spend less money and help the environment. But when it comes to our other consumption habits, to be greener we have to spend more. Cleaning products, paper products, diapers, food…. all the more environmentally-friendly options are also more expensive. Granted, we are eating less since we started eating better, but our grocery bill is still pretty high. I guess unless I’m willing to track everything down to the penny in Microsoft Money, I’ll never know the answer. And I guess I just have to tell myself that saving money isn’t as important as saving the planet.
