Lesley Nagy's Personal Green Tips:
Recycle. Don't just toss everything into the garbage, it's just as easy to pitch recyclables into the blue bin -- it's truly the best habit to get into!
Eat organic. Organic farms don't use conventional pesticides so they are more sustainable and environmentally sound. I also believe it helps you stay fit because you won't be tempted to buy as many junk foods.
Do Yoga. A healthy planet starts with a healthy you. I do Bikram yoga for exercise and to de-stress. It helps me relax and keeps me in shape at the same time.
Use Green Power. Contact your electricity provider and ask to sign up for their green power program.
Watch "Your Green Life." Hey you knew I was going to say that. Of course I'll help you find even more ways to go green, so check out the shows daily and on the weekend!
