Posted by Tyler Knott Gregson in Alternative Energy, DIY Projects, Green Living.

Hello and Happy Friday!  Monday I mentioned the ease, the benefits and the amazing results that can be had by doing something very simple:  Composting.

I realized after reading it again, that it might seem somewhat confusing if you’re not actually able to SEE what it looks like, SEE the way it’s set up and shaped, and See what a good compost pile looks like.  Today, I’m going to remedy that, and seeing as though it is Friday and you’re probably sick of reading from the long week, I’m going to show you it in video form, so you can See what it looks like and Really get started on your own!

Here you go, check out a simple 3 minute video on How To Compost.  Get educated and get started, you’ll thank me, and yourself later!

10 Ways To Go Green and Save Your Green

Posted by Tyler Knott Gregson in Alternative Energy, Organic, Solar Power.

Whenever I speak to people about going green, one of the first and most important things I try to bring up to bring as many people on board as possible, is just how much of your Green (dollars, my friends, dollars) it can actually save by doing some of these things.  Lucky for me, and you, and all the rest of us, I just found 10 helpful tips on exactly how to go about this.

Head over and check out the full article for more in-depth analysis and reasoning behind each one, but to save you time, here is a brief paraphrasing of the top 5 ways on just how to achieve some of these results:

  1. Save energy to save money. - This can be as easy as just turning down your thermostat a bit lower, or turning off as many lights as you can or switching them for CFL’s.  Do it.
  2. Skip the bottled water. - Buy a water filter, a Brita pitcher, or buy a Klean Kanteen aluminum or stainless steel water bottle.  This can cut down on waste more than you’d even believe.
  3. Save water to save money. - Shorter showers, water your lawn less, get plants that don’t need as much watering.
  4. Less gas = more money. - This one isn’t shocking, but walk more, bike more, Scooter more, public transport more.  Do anything BUT drive your car.  More.
  5. Eat smart. - Go meatless once a week.  Eat locally grown produce.
