Green Living & Protecting Your Home and the EnvironmentFrom country living to living lightly on the earth no matter where you live, self sufficient and green living just makes good sense. For frugal folks, living green is something we did before it was popular. Being self sufficient is another way of saying "Do it yourself," another thing frugal folks are good at. Sustainable living is a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual's or society's use of the Earth's natural resources and his/her own resources. Practitioners of sustainable living often attempt to reduce their carbon footprint by altering methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet. Proponents of sustainable living aim to conduct their lives in ways that are consistent with sustainability, in natural balance and respectful of humanity's symbiotic relationship with the Earth's natural ecology and cycles. The practice and general philosophy of ecological living is highly interrelated with the overall principles of sustainable development.

If each one of us contributes just a little, we can all make a difference. Living green can make a difference.
