better for the environment,

Greener living doesn't have to be a chore. Not only is it better for the environment, but it's also better for your wallet. As long as you're willing to put in a little extra effort, there are plenty of ways you can live greener without spending any more money or changing your lifestyle too much. Here are some ideas that will help you go green without breaking the bank:

What to do if you drink bottled water

What to do with plastic water bottles

Use a reusable water bottle. You can find these at most drugstores and grocery stores, or order one online. If you’re on the go and forget your reusable bottle, many places now have filtered fountains that will dispense clean water for free.
Buy a stainless steel or glass water bottle. They’re more expensive than their plastic counterparts but are better for the environment because they don't contain BPA (bisphenol A). The experts recommend buying stainless steel over glass if you plan to use it as an everyday drinking source due to concerns about breakage and its ability to hold cold temperatures longer than glass can (which is important if you live in an area where tap water is not suitable for drinking straight from the tap).

How to be more efficient and recycle when purchasing additional household items

Batteries. Recycle your old alkaline batteries by bringing them to a local battery recycling center. They can be recycled for free at many grocery stores, hardware stores, or battery retailers (such as Radio Shack). Just bring in the whole battery—not just the metal part!

Ink cartridges. If you have an old inkjet printer that still works, consider using it to cut down on costs associated with buying new ink cartridges every time one runs out of ink—you can buy remanufactured or compatible replacement cartridges instead of going straight to name-brand products each time.

Cell phones and smartphones. If you're upgrading from an older cell phone model to a new smart phone or tablet device, sell your old one on Craigslist or eBay and use some or all of those funds toward the cost of your upgrade purchase—you'll still be able to keep using your same number throughout this process!

Printer ink cartridges (and other types of cartridge). Reuse empty printer cartridges by refilling them with fresh toner powder before disposing of them properly through a designated recyling station near where you live; most major cities now have such facilities available for public use where anyone can come drop off their used materials for safe disposal and recycling once processed into usable form again later on down the road when needed again someday soon hopefully sometime soon maybe eventually definitely someday nevermind forget about it forget i said anything about recycling ever again

How much energy (and money) is wasted on the distribution of essential household items

You may be aware of the current state of our planet. In many places, there is not enough food and water to go around. Climate change has left some areas in a state of turmoil, while other parts of the world are experiencing extreme weather events like hurricanes that are wiping out entire cities. It’s no wonder that people think twice before buying things they don’t really need or want anymore—especially if it means contributing to global warming.

However, many people seem to have forgotten about one thing: The distribution system for essential household items such as food, water and clothing is also very wasteful!

How to reduce your grocery bills with a simple technique called 'stacking'

Stacking is a technique that allows you to save money on your grocery bill by combining the discounts offered by multiple coupons. To use the stacking technique, you'll need to first make sure that the store offers coupon policies which allow for two or more coupons per item. If not, then don't bother with this method since it won't work for you.

Once you've confirmed that stacking is an option at your store, gather all of your paper and digital coupons together so that they're in one place. You can either use a binder or folder to keep them neatly organized and presentable; this will make it easier on yourself when checking out with your groceries at checkout time! Once everything is organized into one location, begin working through each stack of coupons individually (compared with other stacks) so as not miss out on any potential savings opportunities due simply because there weren't enough coupons available for an item before moving onto another one altogether."

Why checking out your shopping cart at the supermarket can save you a considerable amount of money

You may think that checking out your shopping cart at the supermarket is just a good way to make sure you have everything you need, but there's so much more to it than that. The supermarket is a business, and as such it needs to make money. The supermarket wants you to spend as much money as possible on groceries because they can charge more for those products than they would at other stores.

If you know what items are on sale this week and what coupons are available, then you can have an edge over customers who don't do their research before they go shopping.

How to save money on fresh produce with 'unboxing'

You've heard of the practice of "unboxing." But have you heard of unboxing produce? It's a technique for saving money on fresh food by buying a box of fresh produce and then unpacking it and using only what you need. This saves money because you don't buy products that go bad before you can use them, and it also reduces waste! You're helping out Mother Earth AND keeping more dollars in your wallet at the same time.

This method works well with items like berries or lettuce that are sold by weight—you can buy enough for one meal, or two meals if there's more than one person eating dinner in your household.

There are plenty of easy ways to become a greener consumer, it's up to you to find them.

Some are simple changes that can be made in your everyday life, and some may require more effort on your part.

You can learn more about the environmental impact of your choices by visiting government websites or calling local organizations dedicated to sustainability.
