The excuses are universal: “Too expensive, too complicated, ineffective, pointless, not accessible. I can’t go green.” So here are some “Don’t over-think it” green tips to get you started. It doesn’t matter whether you are going green to combat global warming or climate change, or if you are just trying to clean up the planet a bit. Or if your needs are economic rather than moral. These tips will achieve all of the above.
Friday’s fabulous green tip #2
Plant a herb garden.
Even if it’s indoors in a patch of sun. Then stop buying the herbs in plastic packaging; instead, use your own. It’s incredibly satisfying to pick a few sprigs of homegrown rosemary and chop them over your potato dish. And a bunch of fresh herbs will make a wonderful gift for your hostess when you attend a dinner party. Much greener than cut flowers!
