Going Green week has kicked off indeed, and with a bang I might add here at NBC Weather Plus. In fact, driven by the leadership of NBC Universal and GE, our mandate across the board has been and will be to enlighten and reinforce measures that can help save this fragile planet of ours in a meaningful, productive, and revitalizing way.

Wonderful!

The first thing that I have done over the last week is to step up my efforts to recycle. Now, I know that this is not a new concept however I have revisited the notion of taking care to not waste anything that can be salvaged. It’s amazing what you can get rid of once you take a really good look around your home, office or workplace.

It’s the little things that count! They do in fact make a difference.

I’ve also turned down the thermostat. I will be wearing an extra layer or two underneath the blankets, comforter… Save some green with your heating bill in mind. Save energy. Test drive a green-mobile – a hybrid car for example. I like Honda. The Civic hybrid is getting a look this winter for sure. More green in my wallet down the road (so to speak) saving money on fuel costs. I’ll be getting mine in black though if and when I do make the purchase.

Composting is another great idea too. Save on the chemical production of fertilizer – make it the natural way, it’s better for your garden and lawn.

Enjoy saving and preserving our green home!
