Everyday, we are faced with news about the financial crisis, job-losses and overall negativity and feeling of doom. Reality can sometimes be really hard to take in, but it's here. We can't run away from it and somehow, we need to find a way to clear our thoughts from this meltdown.

In times like these, we need a plan to get through the tough times. Going-green may not sound like a bright idea, but here's some of the reasons why Saving-The-Planet is also actually Saving-You-Money. Read thru:

1. Eat more veggies - they're healthier for you and costs less than buying meat. A bag of carrots or mushrooms cost less than a package of beef or chicken.

2. Walk or ride a bike/bus - or even car-pool, you get to exercise and have fun rather than sit in your car in traffic everyday.

3. Borrow movies from the library - movies and books are meant to be shared and enjoyed by everyone. When you actually have to have a copy, weigh it in from your wants and needs.

4. Turn-off and Unplug electronics when not in use - those electric suckers just take a tiny bit, but little by little it goes a long way.

5. Do your research online - a lot of times when we're buying groceries or items in the stores, we simply can be driven to "WANT TO BUY" stuff. Big companies have already done their RESEARCH on our buying habits so why won't you.

Believe in yourself that if you Plan Ahead, you'll get somewhere.

There's a lot more reasons and more great ideas that we can come up with, and if you would like to share them, please do so! Let's make Green the color of our world!
