It is no big secret that in these tough economic times we are all feeling the effects of the economy in some way.  I am sure that most people are thinking of ways to save money and become more efficient in everyday life.  The smallest of things can make a difference if we choose to become “greener” in our everyday lives.  By simply turning off a light when you walk out of the room or recycling paper are all considered “going green”.

Here at the HO office we have implemented some of these tactics to save money as well.  We are opting to send as many invoices and statements to our clients via email instead of postal mail.  If you would like to get on the list to help save the planet and would like all Highland Outdoor related news or invoices sent to you via email, please email me (natasha@highland-outdoor.com) to get on the list.

Here are a few tips to help you in making the change and heading towards a greener earth:

1.    Instead of using your sprinkler system or faucets to water plants, use something that will actually catch the rainwater.  Try hooking something like a large barrel up to your gutter system and use the rainwater to water your plants instead.
2.    Use space heaters instead of your heating/cooling system.
3.    Turn the water off when you are brushing your teeth or washing your face so that you aren’t wasting water.

When you have decided to go green, go through your utility bills from a year ago and compare to this years bills to see how much money you have saved! Saving money and being respectful of the environment will surely bring a smile to your face!

Thanks for becoming part of the greater good to save money for not only Highland Outdoor, or yourself, but for everyone.  It truly has a lasting impact on more things than you know!
