Benefits of Green Living
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Tracy_Santany]Tracy Santany

The benefits of green living are what win a lot of people over to practicing it. Though we would all like to think that we become environmentally conscious for purely unselfish reasons, the fact is that we often need some motivation. In the big picture, what motivates us to live green matters less than the fact that we are doing it. If it benefits us in very direct ways, that's great, because it will also benefit those around us. The benefits of green living will always reach beyond us; it is simply a positive aspect of the lifestyle.

· Save money - If anything can motivate someone to do something, it's money. If you really start to dedicate yourself to living green, you start seeing some financial savings fairly quickly. Though often we hear about how much solar panels or hydrogen fuel cells cost, the fact is that you don't need those things to start living green. Energy conservation, recycling, reusing; all of these things are about green living, and they save you a considerable amount of money.

· Health - One of the best benefits of green living is that it can improve your health. Eating organic foods and using natural cleaning products and other natural home products is going to have a positive effect on your well being and the well being of your family.

· Raising environmentally conscious children - Children learn by example, so when you practice green living it will become second-nature to your children as they grow up. If you really sit and think of the impact of this, you begin to realize the significant benefits.

There are many benefits of green living, and as you continue to practice this way of life you see more of them every day. Each benefit inspires you to keep living green; a cultivation of habits that is positive in every way.
