proFitinGFromtheGreenmovementBy Zach Hanebrink
People in South Carolina areactive in going green anddoing their part to save theenvironment, save money andpromote the local economy inthe process. There are manygreen initiatives in the statefrom local blogs getting theword out to green businesses,
green home builders and homes,recycling programs, as wellas, organizations designedto promote South Carolinaagriculture and SC products.Surely you have heard the buzzon going green and if you wantto start getting involved anddoing your part, here are sometips to get you started:
AvoidlettingyourcAr
idLe- Every second you spendidling your cars engine meansneedlessly wasting gas, as wellas, adding wear and tear on yourvehicle. Idling over 10 secondswastes more gas than is needed
for startup. Overall, Americansidle away 2.9 billion gallons ofgas a year, worth around $78.2billion.
turnoffyourcomputer -
Save energy and wear and tearon your machine by shuttingdown your computer whenyou are done using it and inthe evenings before you leavework. Youll save an average
of $90 of electricity a year.The Department of Energyrecommends shutting off yourmonitor if you arent going to useit for more than 20 minutes, andthe whole computer if youre notgoing to use it for longer thantwo hours.

aBoutGreenenerGy - More
than half of all electricityconsumers in the U.S. now havethe option of purchasing greenpower from their local utility. Findout how you can purchase greenpower by visiting the Departmentof Energys state-by-state list ofproviders. You can also checkwith your own utility to seewhats available. Palmetto CleanEnergy is a local South Carolinagreen energy program http://www.palmettocleanenergy.org/default.asp
keepsensibletAbson
yourthermostat - It is toyour benet to pays to pay closeattention to your thermostat,since most South Carolinahouseholds spend 50 to 70%of their energy budgets onheating and cooling. For everydegree you lower the thermostat,youll save between 1% and3% of your heating bill. Do thesame thing in reverse with airconditioning.
wAshyourclothesin
CoLdWater - An easy way toclean green is to turn the dialon your washing machine tocold. Most laundry loads do notrequire hot water, and 90% of
the energy used by washingmachines goes into heatingthe water. The higher the watertemperature, the higher the costto you and the planet.
enrollinonlinebilling
- Save natural resources, aswell as late fees, by registeringwith online bill-paying options.Paperless billing not only savestrees; it also reduces the fossil
fuel needed to get all thosebilling envelopes from them toyou and back again. Plus, youllsave money on stamps.

Approximately 100 million treesand 28 billion gallons of waterare used to send junk mail toAmericans annually. You caneliminate 75% of unsolicitedmail by registering on the Mail

paper - Most software programsgive the option for double sidedprinting, but yet most still printonly on one side of the page.Consider this: the U.S. alone
uses 4 million tons of copy paperannually, about 27 pounds perperson. Save dough and SouthCarolina landlls.
cArpool! - If your commuteto work is 25 miles each way andat least half is in typical stop-and-go trafc, youll save roughly10 percent of your monthlycarbon emissions by carpooling.Not to mention saving money on
gas!

Right now, mortgage rates are
at their lowest level since 1971.Think about that. Twenty-veyears ago, homeowners werepaying as much as 18% on a30-year xed. Today its justa little over 5%.Combine that
rate with the tax advantages ofa mortgage, and you have anincredibly cheap way to buildwealth, but you better act now.
Real estate guru BarbaraCorcoran has already seen a
tremendous surge in renanceapplications more than triplethe average and the numberof people getting approved isastronomically higher as well,she says. But that doesnt meanthe low rates are a panacea forthe ills of the housing market. Itis only once home prices startto go up that we will nally seea light at the end of tunnel,Corcoran says. Until that
happens, we are still going tohave to crawl out of this mess.[Low interest rates are] a not alifesaver, Corcoran says. Thisis just a helping hand.
David Kittle, chairman of theMortgage Bankers Association,has this advice to homeownerslooking to renance: Do it. Dontget greedy searching for anotherquarter-point. Lock in ratesnow. He is seeing applications
soar over 125% just sinceThanksgiving due to the lowrates.
Of course, you should onlyrenance if it saves you at least3/8 on the rate and if you plan onstaying in your home for at leastfour years, Kittle says. Alongwith good credit, proof of incomeand money by means of a downpayment or equity in the home,
there are certain things everyhomeowner needs regardless ofinterest rate levels.
