Going Green And Saving Green This Earth Day

Earth Day is not only an excuse for you to do your part and save the environment, it’s a chance to re-assess your spending habits and save some money! Here are Terra Wellington’s suggestions for being eco-savvy this year:

Going Green Doesn’t Mean More Money!
Virgin trees are often used to make the house-hold paper products we use. So try a brand like Marcal Small Steps that uses one hundred percent recycled paper materials to make their products. Best of all, the brand typically sells for LESS than other paper goods made from freshly killed trees and you wouldn’t know it - the performance isn’t sacrificed in the process.

Narrow Cleaning Supplies To One Multi-Use Option
Instead of spending money on chemical supplies with harsh chemicals, stick to safe and natural alternatives you may already have in your home, like Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. At just one dollar a box you can use it for almost everything, from cleaning your patio furniture and removing scuff marks from floors to even exfoliating your skin.

Less Packaging Means Less Waste!
Some companies, like Proctor and Gamble’s Future Friendly line, have discovered new ways to lessen packaging without sacrificing the performance of products we love. A great example is their compacted powder laundry detergents, like Tide and Gain that use twenty-four percent less total packaging. These join the other Future Friendly products designed to reduce waste and save energy and water without a trade-off in value or performance.

Support Environmentally-Focused Tech Achievements
In stores now, The Coca-Cola Company recently released the first-ever nationally distributed plastic bottles made with renewable sugar cane. Identified by their green caps, DASANI and Odwalla brands are the first to use PlantBottle packaging. The company plans to transitions all its beverages to PlantBottle packaging, which are one-hundred percent recyclable.”
