Save Green by Going Green
April 29th, 2010
Want to save the planet and your wallet at the same time? Here are some tips:
- Bring a bag. Saving a few cents on your grocery bill might not be incentive enough to switch to reusable bags, but getting charged extra for plastic could be.
- Go paperless.“Going paperless is usually a condition of getting the most favorable terms,” says Greg McBride, a senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. You might be able to get a better interest rate or secure extra reward points.
- Buy green goods. A handful of credit card and other reward programs are directed at consumers who are buying green products.
- Recycle. Figuring out where and how to recycle some goods can be tricky, so some companies are beginning to offer free recycling of defunct gadgets and extending postage-paid shipping.
