This green mentality is all about thinking differently. What would you rather do? Turn on a light for 4 hours or throw a glass bottle into the trash instead of the recycle bin? The energy needed for that light bulb and for making a new bottle are the same. So where is the energy better spent? Okay, that might have been an easy one, but some are a bit harder because they take extra actions from you. For instance:

• Take a shower every day or take a shower every other day and save enough water over your lifetime to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool.
• Keep your thermostat at 70 instead of 69 in winter or turn it down and have about €15 extra spending money monthly.
• Continue printing on one side of pieces of paper or print on both sides and save an average of 3 trees per year.
