Green Laziness

I swear I'm not crazy. Green is the new lazy.

Though there are many environmentally-friendly tasks that take time and effort, here are a few tips for lazy people like myself:

• Don't blow dry your hair. Saves energy.
  
• Wear your clothes more than once. (Underwear and socks excluded.) Saves water and energy.
  
• Lick your plate. Saves trying to find dessert and the dreaded task of pre-rinsing your dishes.
• Don't cook as often. Eating raw foods saves energy and is more nutritious.
  
• When you do cook, cook in bulk and then eat the rest throughout the week. Makes eating home-cooked meals much more appetizing after a long day at work. Oh, it also saves energy and packaging.
  
• Hate grocery shopping? Go less often, combine your trips and buy in bulk. Saves packaging, gas and the wear-and-tear on your car.
  
• Shop online. The energy used by big-box stores greatly outweighs the energy used to truck an item to your doorstep.
  
• Take fewer showers. Saves water.
• If possible, don't go to work. Telecommuting is greener than making the dreaded commute. And then you can avoid showering as well! (See above.)
• Wait for a full load to run your dishwasher, washer, dryer, etc.
  
• Keep your washer on the cold water setting. It saves energy and saves you the boring task of sorting your clothes.
