I’d like to be using more green products, why are they so expensive?
I do use recycled paper, notebooks and household paper products; I bought the Energy Saving lightbulbs when on sale, and always try to buy products with packaging that say ‘made with recycled materials’–but much more I just can’t afford.
I agree. I find getting back to the basics is really the true “green” approach. Making your own cleaners, cooking from scratch, buying local, hanging you clothes to dry, using cloth (napkins, diapers, etc) instead of paper will save you $ and help the environment. Now that “green” has gone mainstream advertisers are trying to convince you that you need to spend a lot of $ to be environmentally concious. This may be true for the bigger items (solar panels, new appliances, Hybrid Cars) but there are many smaller changes that you can make that help too.
