The biggest reason to go green, of course, is to do our bit to save the world we live in. We are regularly reminded by the media of the damages that are inflicted upon the environment, and some of the damage comes from our own habits at home. When we add to the waste on our local landfills by throwing out plastic, for example, or when we use more electricity than we should, we increase our carbon footprint.

#1: You will save money
By going green, you can save money in all kinds of ways.
If you unplug your appliances and turn your heating down when your home is warm, you will waste less energy. You will also use less energy if you use the services of local plumbers to replace older and less energy-efficient heating systems.
You will also save money if you make your own cleaning products, instead of buying the expensive and chemically toxic alternatives from your local store.
And if you reuse and repurpose your junk items, you won't need to throw them away, and you ill have less need to buy something new.
These are just a few of the ways you can save money by going green. Check the link for some more good ideas.

#2: Your home will be healthier
By making your own cleaning products, you won't need to pollute your home with the toxic chemicals that come from many store-bought alternatives. The same applies to the beauty products you use, as there are many DIY recipes online that can help you make something cheaper and less deadly to the environment.
Then there's the food you eat. If you regularly buy from the store, you could be eating foods that are overloaded with pesticides. The greener option would be to grow your own foods organically, as your own foods should be safer to eat and friendlier to the environment.
Think the same about any products you regularly buy, from paints to weed killers. If you can find DIY alternatives, or find products that have been made with fewer toxic chemicals, you will both protect the local environment and your home environment.

#3: You will be a good role model
If you have a young family at home, you will obviously want them to make sensible decisions as they grow up. If you can show them how to go green in the things you do at home, your good habits should rub off on your children. They might then think twice before throwing litter on the floor when they're on the way to school, and they might grow up to be responsible citizens.
So, think about the habits you are teaching your children. By doing what is right, you could influence not only their lives but the lives of future generations too.
