Going Green???

This Morning we talked about three ways to spend you tax refund that'll save you money and help the enviornment.
This brings up the question: Do you think going green is really important for the earth, or is it just a fade that has been blown out of proportion? EARN 150 EZ BUCKS BY TAKING OUR POLL.

The 3 Ways:
#1.) IF YOU'RE GETTING A SMALL REFUND . . . BUY A REUSABLE COFFEE MUG. Even a $20 refund is enough to do that. If you don't drink coffee, buy a reusable water bottle.
--It helps the environment, AND it helps your wallet because you won't waste money buying bottles all the time.

#2.) IF YOU'RE GETTING A BIG REFUND . . . BUY A NEW TV. It can actually be good for the environment. Flat screen TVs that are OLD suck up a crazy amount of power. But the new models with Energy Star logos use about 30% less.

#3.) IF YOU'RE GETTING A *HUGE* REFUND . . . DO SOME REMODELING. Everything from paint to toilets comes in an eco-friendly version now. If you've got an old water heater, that's a good place to start. It'll save on your energy bill.

--Or if you REALLY want to do something eco-friendly, look into solar panels. Your tax refund alone won't cover THAT though. Depending on the size of your house, it could cost $50,000.

--But you at least get a 30% federal tax credit for next year.
