Green living can be as easy as you make it.  It can be as easy as changing incandescent light bulbs to CFL light bulbs, car polling, ride a bike to work, take a bus, and buying energy star appliance.  It is that easy friends. You don’t have to buy the latest technology in order to live green.

One thing I didnot understand.Is it necessary to replace all the normal bulbs to CFL to make my house eco friendly.

CFL bulbs use electricity more efficiently, which therefore reduces carbon emissions.

Does anyone know where I can find statistics on the amount of energy spent in un-green homes (no double paned windows, poor insulation, incandescent bulbs etc.) in comparison to travel related carbon emissions?  It seems most of the hype is over flying and driving, but people use their light bulbs and heat a lot more than they travel.

Green hosting:
Going Green may take multiple forms. Maybe it is time for many of us rethink the way we imagine about living green. For one thing, there are things, thanks to the media, are brought to masses. On the other hand, if you are looking for green areas other than residential or vehicles, you may try to switch your domain host. Chances are good that many own one or more. Even though they are somewhat more expensive than traditional ones, I assume that like any other thing they will get more economical by the time. In a word, green hosting companies spreading across the web and becoming more popular. According to some: they are offering ‘’zero emissions web hosting 100% of the time.  We don't need to rely on energy credits because we don't create any pollution in the first place.  Our servers are housed in a 100% solar powered data center.[/color]
