If you are reading this article, I think you are probably more concerned about the environment than most others. I assume that you keep up with environmental news a bit, reading more than the miniscule amount<\/a> covered in the mainstream media.<\/p>\n

However, I cannot make any guess as to how much you actually do to live a more environmentally friendly life.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

The bottom line is, people inform themselves of the environmental problems in the world much more<\/strong> than they act. And even for those deeply concerned about the environment, it is very likely there is more they could be doing in their own lives to live a cleaner or greener life.<\/p>\n

That is why I want to give one general tip for how to live a greener life. Maybe it is simple. But I think it is one of the best things you can do to transform your actions.<\/p>\n

First, though, if you want some statistics on the difference between what people think need to be done and what they are actually doing, take a look at the results of this Americans’ Actions to Conserve Energy, Reduce Waste, and Limit Global Warming. January 2010<\/a> study from George Mason University and Yale University Project on Climate Change<\/a> researchers.<\/p>\n
