Earth Day: Even more tips on going green to save some green

As we recognize Earth Day, the Consumer Reports blogs are offering some tips for you to be both environmentally conscious and budget friendly.

As President Barack Obama said in his Earth Day proclamation, protecting the environment and the economy are closely related:

The story of the United States is inextricably tied to our vital natural resources. As we enter a new era filled with challenges and promise, we must protect our land, wildlife, water and air--the resources that have fueled our growth and prosperity as a Nation and enriched our lives. Doing this not only fulfills a sacred obligation to our children and grandchildren, but also provides an opportunity to stimulate economic growth.

Here are some more hints from Consumer Reports.
