5 ways to save by living green

It’s good for the environment and your wallet.

NEW YORK (MONEY Magazine) – This summer the scariest movie at the multiplex isn’t your garden-variety horror flick, and it doesn’t star anyone named Tom.

It’s an indie film called An Inconvenient Truth, and it’s…a documentary.

Not only that, but it’s a documentary that on the surface sounds very boring: Al Gore giving a slideshow about science – global warming, to be exact. But it is anything but boring. It is utterly terrifying, in the way that learning that the 10 hottest years in recorded history have all occurred in the past 14 years is terrifying.

The debate over whether global warming is real has all but disappeared as the facts have mounted.

But there is some good news: The solutions aren’t limited to trivial stuff anymore, like turning off your lights and keeping your tires inflated. New technology and more innovative conservation techniques mean that using less power can save you more money than ever.
