(MS) -- Going green has never been more popular. In addition to helping save the planet, becoming more environmentally conscious has also proven an effective means to saving money, a much appreciated side effect during the country's economic woes.
If you are one of the many people who have recently purchased your first home thanks to a government tax rebate incentive or simply because you have been saving a while for this day, it's likely you'll want to improve your home to make it your own. Green improvements just may be the way to go.
If you're making "green" changes in and around the house, you may want to extend earth-friendly living to your pet as well. Why shouldn't going green go to the dogs ... or cats, for that matter? By adopting earth-friendly pet practices, you can minimize negative impacts on the planet and enjoy your pet that much more.

After a long gloomy winter we are inspired by the warmer air and the signs of new growth. In a few weeks the April showers will lead to May flowers, leaving no better time to remind us of the hottest consumer trend: Going green.
Chances are if you spent any time in North America over the last few months you were met with below-average temperatures and blustery winds. Many people had dreams about escaping the cold and finding some place tropical to call home for a few days at the least.
(NC)—Earth Hour is a global lights out phenomenon, led by WWF (World Wildlife Fund) to show support for action on climate change and demonstrate that individual action can make a big difference. It's also a great opportunity to talk to your family about the environment and look at what you can do to reduce your environmental impact.
