Help Environment without spending $$$!!!!!!!

A thought came to my mind while I saw a glossy magazine was promoting $300 dress to help environment. Is there anything you and I can do to help environment that doesn’t cost us hundred dollars organic clothes???? Well, here are few ideas that anyone can implement in a day today life and some even helps you in saving some money, too.

Prefer coffee mug over paper cups.

Why not use shiny stainless steel or plastic coffee mug instead of new paper cups everyday!! Advantages: It saves so many efforts in recycling paper cups. A coffee mug with nice lid is way better in probability of spills. Coffee remains hot for longer duration than paper counterparts. And most coffee places charge 10-15 cents less if you use your own cup.

Just doing a math here, I drink around 12 coffees a week, In one year I can save around 600 paper cups and 60 $$$.
