Welcome to Green Living in Midlothian.

Living "green" simply means you are aware of the impact you have on the world and you are making changes to reduce that impact.  As you make these positive changes, share them with family and friends and encourage them to change too.  A change can be as simple as utilizing the curbside recycling service or a more challenging option such as adding solar panels to your home.  Remember, even the smallest change can have a great impact.

Many green ideas not only improve the environment but also save money.  Taking shorter showers will save water and decrease your monthly utility bills.  Purchasing a hybrid or fuel efficient vehicle will save you money at the gas pump while conserving natural resources.  Replacing your standard lightbulbs with compact fluorescent lightbulbs will save energy and reduce your electricity bill. 

We hope to make it easier for everyone to add a little "green" to their lives by providing useful tips and suggestions that anyone can use.  The energy conservation page contains tips for saving electricity and fuel.  The water conservation page has tips for saving water inside your home and out in your yard.  The useful links page contains links to several websites where you can find information on all aspects of living green.  The recycling page offers information on the curbside recycling program.  Do your part and help make the world a little greener.
