Step 1 - The first thing you should do is define how green you want to go. It is wise to plan because it lets you know in advance what sort of lifestyle you are getting into and prepare.
People will get into green lifestyles at different levels of commitment or preferences. There are those who will want to have minor green habits like recycling water and saving on energy bulbs. The more enthusiastic ones will try and generate wind energy.
Step 2 - Try and have a decent and practical budget which you can obey religiously. It is not about spending money aimlessly. Remember that you are after saving money in the long run rather than increase your spending. Some alternatives are expensive but one-off.
Step 3 - Open a savings account to aid these purchases. The rain will beat you more if you are spending out of your paycheck. It is more comfortable to fund these ventures if you have been stockpiling coins for that specific task. It is less cumbersome.
Step 4 - Have your family supporting your resolve. Even a politician cannot explain why he is busy using cleaner alternatives while he chokes in diesel fumes from the wife and kids. There needs to be agreement.
In their day, a family that has agreed to go green will be able to make each member agree with it in wholesale.
Step 5 - Start the Green lifestyle. Go round, shop for the energy panels, and have your gas-guzzler checked. Start buying energy efficient electronics and you are well on track.
