Go green and save the planet.

If you haven't started thinking of ways to be greener than shame on you! But we won't punish you for too long, instead we'll give you some ideas to finally get on the green-wagon. If you're still wasting away, here's a few ways to save the planet.

Bag It
Seriously, they cost on average one dollar and pretty much every store has them -- invest in re-usable bags already! They're foldable and easy to stash in your purse or act as a purse if need be. Or, use the plastic ones but save them. Use those suckers as bags for your bathroom and office trash cans or as a way to bring lunch to work.

Bottle Rocket
Not only are re-usable water bottles a way to save you some dough, they can help you save the planet. And if plastic isn't too fantastic in your book, go for an aluminum one. Added bonus, most aluminum water bottles are made with recycled aluminum.

Shut Down
Turning off the lights when you leave a room is a power-saving start, but the energy crisis doesn't stop there. Make sure to shut down your computer at the end of the night as well as the television. If you need the TV to drift off to dreamland, that's cool but make sure to set the sleep timer -- so the electricity can go to bed when you do.
