It seems to coincide that the habits for “going green” are also habits that save you money. In stead of driving to the market once a week, I walk to the store every other day and purchase what I can fit in my reusable-canvas tote. Because I carry my tote, I also get a .10 cent discount. I use coupons, and pick up cans or bottles that I find along the way to the store.

I feel great about cleaning up my environment and I earn a few dollars every two or three weeks by recycling. Also, I don’t need to go to the gym because I’m gettiing my excercise while I’m going on my walks. With my walks and carpooling and quittiing my gym membership, I’m saving about $180 per month: $115 savings on gas, $35 on gym,$30 savings on groceries.

There are many other ways of being frugal and keeping more cash in your wallet. You’re likely to find that many of them are also good for the environment.
