Did you know that you can search articles in the Frugal Living Blog by category? Off on the right side of your screen, below the list of blogs is the “frugal categories” list. You can click on a category to go straight to blogs related to that category. It is a great way to find exactly what you need.
One of our newest categories is conservation. This is one of my favorite topics. Not only does conservation save you money, it also saves on resources for the world at large. Conserving resources helps the planet, and also provides additional resources for others. Have you ever donated an item to a thrift store? If someone buys that item instead of going to a retail store, then you’ve just conserved all of the energy it would take to make that product from scratch!
Traditional conservation is focused mostly on saving natural resources, such as electricity, oil and gas. But as you can see from the thrift store example above, there are many ways to practice conservation.
Here are some of the recent blogs that are concerned with conservation. While most can be found under the the conservation category, these issues tend to overlap, so you’ll also find some conservation topics in other categories, such as the home, gardening and reuse categories, so check there as well.
I hope these blogs will serve to inspire you!
