It’s Earth Day. That means we should all be doing things to save this planet, upon which we live, breathe and watch cable television.
Don’t have time to hunt Japanese whalers aboard the Sea Shepherd? You can still make a difference, thanks to a free service called Going Green Today. The site will create a tailored plan that outlines ways you can make your life more environmentally friendly.
It takes about 20 minutes to fill out the detailed assessment, but it’s worth the time investment—the site claims their plan can save you up to $2,000 annually (along with reducing your CO2 emissions by 30,000 pounds).
They’ll ask questions about your home, your family, your lifestyle, your driving habits (if you don’t have a car, for example, they won’t offer advice for getting better mileage) and various other lifestyle queries.
From there it creates a personalized plan that lists a set of goals and tells you how to achieve them on a day-by-day basis (the main focus is on the first 90 days, but it offers tips beyond that go beyond that).
The idea here is that we all need prompting, reminders and guidance in order to make positive changes.
The full plan costs $29, though half of this fee goes to a green charity. And you’ll get a free report just for completing the assessment.
Hey, nobody said saving the Earth was easy.
