Green Money Saving will be a website dedicated to showing how you can be eco-friendly and at the same time save money. Lots of people think that being environmentally friendly is expensive, whereas in fact it doesn't have to cost a fortune at all, and in fact there are quite a lot of things you can do which are good for the environment and which will actually save you money as well.
By starting small, and learning what you can do that will save you money, you can then build up a pot of cash which if you choose to, you can then feed back into your efforts to be green and use to instigate a larger project that you do need some funds for such as installing solar water heating or a wind turbine. These are also things which will save you money in the long run, but they do have an initial set up cost which is why you will need to start with some of the other areas on here first.
Here are SOME of the things we hope to include on the site:
