Created on: April 29, 2008   Last Updated: May 12, 2011

Do you have bills to pay? Need a new way to make money and live your life? Well you have come to the right place. The best way to do all those things you need to do is to go GREEN!

You can start by recycling and saving all your milk jugs, soda cans, ice tea bottles, everything and anything that says recycle. Why you ask? Well, by doing all things you can earn money while saving the planet and going green. Usually each aluminum soda can you drink out of and many of the plastic bottles of beverages you drink from all have a cash back mark near the recycle marking on them. Some bottles and cans have 5 cents back while others have 10 cent to 20 cents on them. This means you can get cash back for recycling these items. So why are you throwing them away? Are you thinking that it is only 5 cents? If you are let me tell you cents adds up to dollars. I would recommend you start saving your plastic milk juggles, juice containers, soda cans, and such. You are throwing away big money if you do and adding more pollution into the earth. So go green and be come green. You can make a great profit off recycling and you would be doing the earth a huge favor!

Need examples well here you go!

Recycle 500 soda cans at 5 cents and earn $25.00
Recycle 500 glass Bottles at 10 cents and earn $50.00
Recycle 500 milk jugs at 15 cents and earn $75.00

Now that is big money right there! So stop throwing your money out the window and start giving it back to yourself. I think you and the earth do!

Some other great ways to earn some money and go green is to change all your light bulbs in your house to energy saving ones. This will drop your energy bill down by $20.00 a month and saving the planets energy all around the world. Well then, hop to it and start changing out those old energy-wasting light bulbs and start adding those energy efficient ones in!

Need some more ways to drop your bills and save money while helping the earth. Here is one for you do not buy newspapers. You all probably are thinking, "What!" Well, most newspapers you can read on line free. This is a great way to save 50 cents to a $1.00 each week. Why waste your money on something you are only going to read once and throw away? Every newspaper we through away is a waste of our clean air supply. Why you ask? Well, every tree we cut down for a newspaper is a tree that could be cleaning our area and helping to stop global warming. We need all the trees out there that we can get. So, stop buying those newspapers that are going
