Do you want to start living a greener lifestyle but can't seem to do anything more than recycle? Jean talks with author and green living consultant Crissy Trask about easy, eco-friendly tips you can use from her book It's Easy Being Green: A Handbook for Earth-Friendly Living.

Crissy says you can start having a positive impact on the environment today by following these tips from her book:



  • Water your garden with rainwater collected from gutters and barrels.
  • Make your own nontoxic household cleaners and save money while breaking away from harmful chemicals.
  • Save water by filling a plastic bottle with water and submerging it in your toilet tank. It could save thousands of gallons of water a year!
