Its pretty easy being green

The green movement is in full swing and everyone is striving to be more energy and cost effective. Not harming the environment as much as we used to and saving some dough in the process is something people are wrapping their heads around more easily these days.

The only downside is the usual amount of money you have to pay up front is more expensive. So some people are still wary these days to spend more money on something they can get cheaper in a different way. But once that initial investment has been made, you usually start saving money on different things along the way.

Bio-diesel for example, a little more costly up front, but it saves on costs of maintenance because of its cleaning effect on the mechanical innards. There is always a bright side to spending more up front. Especially when the product your trading in for is not only better for the environment, but you as well.

Bio-diesel wont give you the headaches and exhaust induced light-headedness that the petroleum based stuff will. Although the bio-diesel also has its drawbacks, so does the regular stuff, and these drawbacks are far easier to make up for.

What do you think about the cost effectiveness of using green products verses the stuff we have been using, like petroleum based diesel?

Is it worth it in the end, or is it just as easy as buying a different style of shoe and trying them on?
