I've been feeling like the topsy turvy economy might be just what's needed to shake things up so the pieces come down in a more sustainable way. Here's an interesting article outlining 7 fixes from the Green Economy.
The 7 ideas are:
- Green Energy - Green Jobs
- Clean Energy Victory Bonds
- Reduce, Reuse, Rethink
- Go Green, Fair Trade, and Local
- Community Investing
- Shareowner Activism
- Building Community

Another tip to reduce your energy consumption: LED Lights
Light Emitting Diodes - LED's are lights which are extremely energy efficient and long lasting. LED Lights create less heat than traditional lights which means they last significantly longer than traditional lights. LED Lights are a relatively new technology and can help you save up to 90% on your lighting costs.
Lighting contributes about 30% to the average households energy bill. Most lighting today is inefficient and is costing you unnecessary money and emitting vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. L.E.D Lighting is an energy efficient alternative to traditional lighting. There are alternatives for every type of light - incandescent, downlights and outdoor lighting.
