How much does Going green cost?

Question

the disadventages from going green

Answer 1

Depends on whether you want to invest time and energy or money. Like most things, if you outsource your effort to other people, than the cost is going to go up.

Example: buying a new hybrid car is going to be expensive and "Green", but riding a bike is cheep and "green" but requires more personal time and effort.

Depending on where your values lie, time vs money, going green could be the cheapest or most expensive thing you've ever done. But either way you're doing something positive. So you really can't lose.

Answer 3

Well like the others say it depends on your values...My family at home we recycle everything we can. We used to have a compost pile, but now we live in town so we can't. We also buy eco-friendly products. The company has a make-up line, cleaning line, vitamins, organic food and more. And it's very cost efficient. Which helps us out right now.
