To be a GREEN chic does not mean that you have to give up all sort of personal comfort, here are some doable tips to be green chic in daily life:
Unplug appliances when you’re not using them. Make it a habit to turn off your computer—and the power strip it’s plugged into—when you leave for the day. Otherwise, you’re still burning energy even if you’re not using them! During the day, setting your computer to go to sleep automatically during short breaks can cut energy use by 70 percent. Remember, screen savers don’t save energy.
Go paperless when possible. Make it a habit to think before you print: could this be read or stored online instead? If you have to print, save paper by printing on both sides or use the back side of old documents for faxes, scrap paper, or drafts. Do not receive the brochures or flyers the salesperson hand you in the mall or public spaces if you are not really interested with the product/services offered.
Take shorter showers to reduce water use.
Say No Plastic Bag. Bring your own bag whenever you can (or remember - in my case). If you only buy 1 or 2 items that you can easily put in your bag, there is no point in taking the plastic bag. Just politely return them to the cashier. If large plastic bag (from groceries shopping) can be easily reuse as litter bag, most of small plastic bag just ended up as trash.
Bring a reusable water bottle with you when traveling or at work instead of buying bottled water that generates large amounts of container waste.
