Easy Ways To Go Green At Work, At Home, And In The Car

WSOCTV.COM met with Chatham Olive from the Sierra Club to have a series of discussions about what people could actually do to help the environment. We came up with 3 lists covering three topics--Work, Home, and Car.

By watching the videos and slideshows we put together, you'll have practical advice on very simple things you can do starting today. Some of the things are a little expensive, like buying a new hot water heater. Not everyone will be able to afford that. But other tips actually save you money immediately. Savings you can use to get that water heater after all--and then save even more!

It's important to mention these lists are just a start. There are many, many ways to go green.

We hope you'll come back often to the "Going Green" section of wsoctv.com. We are always adding content and want to be a partner in helping make it a better, cleaner, greener world!
