Doubtless you've heard the term over and over again. It's been plastered onto organic products, slapped into every recycling PSA, and thrown at you by various non-profit organisations. Go Green!

But what, exactly, does it mean? Perhaps hemp and peace symbols come to mind, but rest assured -- we don't all have to switch to wearing Birkenstocks and refusing to shave to get a little greener. For decades the idea of living in an earth-friendly manner was largely associated with extremest hippies and tree-huggers. It has been frowned upon, jibed at, ignored... But if we take a look at Going Green from a wallet's perspective, perhaps some of it will make a little more sense!

Join me, The Pointed Hat, as I embark on a quest to "Go Green," while scouring the internet, text books and various other sources for easy ways to make a change in the home. Thanks to modern technology and a renewed sense of duty to preserve the earth, Green products are now readily available in most supermarkets and even some clothing stores. Say goodbye to the stigma that has followed environmentalists, and say hello to a few extra dollars in the bank!
