Going Green in Cost Saving Way

Going green can be expensive, but I am a believer in one step at a time, lots of small actions add up and sometimes the green option is the cheap option.
For example:Cleaning:
Vinegar is a safe and powerful cleaner that is much cheaper than any of the harmful chemicals most people use. The production of these chemicals are very harmful to the environment most are petrol products in addition to being poisonous chemicals. Replacing them with Vinegar & Baking soda. You can unclog toilets and drains with a few cups of vinegar some baking soda, let it sit for 30 minutes and follow with boiling water. Floors, bathtubs, sinks and toilets all can be cleaned with vinegar. The only draw back for some people is the smell but it goes away quickly.
Gardening:
Replace a portion of that sprawling, water consuming lawn and grow something to eat: A small organic tomato & cucumber garden from seed will reduce the pesticide use to grow them for the grocery store, reduce the gas it takes to drive to the store and back and you will be sure that the food you grow is poison free. Stop buying plants that are in plastic tubs and trays, opt for the ones that come in peat pots or grow them yourself from seed.
Pest Control
It is many times safer & cheaper to use natural pest controls, for example if you have an ant problem in the Kitchen and you unload a $5 can of raid on them you are poisoning your personal environment, the environment at large and its more expensive than using just Vinegar.
In your home and garden it is free to find 2nd uses for things you would normally throw away. If you don?t want it but it?s still useful, give it away or donate it. Giving things a 2nd life greatly reduces landfills.

A meaningful video of Parans System, an energy saving system
Parans system is a environmental friendly system that collect the sunlight, transfer the sunlight through optical cable and distribute the sunlight in a building.
Globally, electrical Lighting account almost 20% usage of total Electricity Usage. Parans idea in letting the sunlight can go into the building and save half of the Electric Lighting used. The sunlight is collected and distributed to different work places through optical fiber cable.
With the using of sunlight will lower the produce of green house gases. research shows the sunlight also increase the productivity by up to 16%. If Parans technology replace 10% of the Electric Light of every building of US, Europe and Shina, we could reduce the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) by 220 000 000.
The parans not only make the employee and environment, but also Finance Department happy. Turns off the Light, Here comes the Sunshine.
