When Buying Electronics, Choose Rechargeable Items. Whether it’s an electronic device that you can plug in to the wall or your computer, or whether it’s batteries you can take out and recharge, do what you can to avoid new batteries. Nor is it healthy. Shop with a List. Pay Attention to Packaging. You can do the same.

The truth is, there are plenty of things our grandparents and great grandparents did that were eco-friendly and frugal that we can easily do today. So often, being environmentally friendly and saving money go hand in hand. That’s good for the Earth and for personal finances. Hang clothes to dry. Make your own laundry soap.

I know I do.
