RIP Hugg.com

It has just been announced that Treehugger will be shutting down hugg.com for good. For those of you who don't know what hugg is, its a digg like website for green news.

1. Change How You Light Things Up

Believe it or not those little light bulbs that you are using consume a lot of energy, so why not replace them light bulbs that consume a lot less energy?

Regular Bulb / CFL Bulb

Fix It: Get Your Green DIY Supplies

Part of living a sustainable life is not taking the normal route of tossing something when it ceases to work/look/be as it did upon first purchase. Actually, let me rephrase. That's not a normal route unless you're an American. We're pretty bad about tossing stuff thoughtlessly. We've been able to do so without consequence (or so we thought) for many years.
