Before this year, perhaps no issue drew more attention than the environment. While the environment remains as important as ever, over the last 12 months the environ- ment has been replaced as the hot button issue of the day by the growing concerns over the worlds economy. As unrelated as those two issues may seem on the surface, the environment and the economy actually have a lot in common. Environmentally-based jobs, in fact, are having a positive impact on the economy, as jobs that did not exist as recently as a decade ago are now opening more and more doors each day. Whats more, living an eco-friendly lifestyle can make a substantial, and positive, impact on an individuals bottom line in a number of ways. The following tips are not only ways in which individuals can positively impact the environment, but also save themselves some money. * Purchase rechargeable batteries. Per- haps because theyre so small, batteries are often overlooked among those attempting to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. How- ever, disposable batteries cannot break down into organic compounds, so when theyre thrown away the harmful chemi- cals that make them up can actually hurt the environment. Rechargeable batteries have no such side effect and can help save on the cost of re-purchasing new batteries when exisiting ones die. While recharge- able batteries often cost more when initially purchased, their ability to be used again and again after charging more than make up for that initial cost differential. * Replace old appliances. While it might not seem purchasing expensive new household appliances is a great way to save money, it actually can be. If old, energy-draining appliances are replaced with newer, more effi cient models, that can trim substantial amounts of money from the yearly energy bill while also making a very positive environmental impact. * Clip coupons. To many, clipping coupons might seem somewhat archaic. However, newspapers, particularly Sun- day editions, are still full of hundreds of coupons or other discount offers each week. While the coupons can clearly save shoppers money, they also give shoppers a better idea of what theyre looking for when heading to the store. For example, with a handful of coupons already in a wallet or purse, shoppers will know exactly what it is theyll be shopping for. That leads to less inconvenient trips to the grocery store, which in turn saves gas and money. Saving the gas is good for the environment, while saving money is good for everyone, espe- cially at a time when people are looking to save more and more. * Use a water fi lter. People across the globe purchase billions of plastic water bottles each year, many of which are fi lled with water. The negative impact of unre- cycled plastic bottles is well documented. In addition, when forced over the last year to sit down and examine some of their daily expenses, more and more people realized theyre spending foolishly on everyday items, including bottled water. A water fi lter can provide equally clean and healthy water as bottled water, but does so at a frac- tion of the cost to both the environment as well as an individuals wallet. Help the Environment and Your Bottom Line Shoppers who clip coupons can save money and inadvertently help the en- vironment at the same time.
