While an electric razor is the greenest option to use, many people simply cannot give up their disposable razor for a close, clean shave. If you're that person, do this one green thing: Give up your shaving cream and try hair conditioner instead.

LED bulbs -- short for light-emitting diodes -- are the hottest bulbs to hit the market recently. They can be pricey -- around $30 a bulb -- but the savings over time is worth the investment. According to the government's Energy Star program, an LED bulb that is Energy Star-qualified will last around 22 years or 25,000 hours. The energy savings show that LED is a leader in eco-friendly bulbs!

If a refrigerator is exposed to direct sunlight all day, the sun's rays can heat up the exterior of the fridge and force it work harder. This is just one more reason to keep the drapes drawn during bright, sunny days.
