It’s a rule well known amongst charity workers - poorer people give the most. In any society, those who are best acquainted with struggle display the most concern for other people. The same goes for concern for the planet. But if you’re on a budget, it’s hard to take action to protect the planet directly, especially if you live in a rented apartment. In these circumstances you can hardly put solar panels all over the roof, and your landlord may be unwilling to cooperate with your environmentally friendly suggestions. You’ll be pleased to discover, then, that there are still some practical things you can do to live a greener lifestyle. The increasing range of solar options available on the market includes products specifically designed to be affordable and to be used with or without a full domestic solar system. These include gadgets like toasters, music players and alarm clocks which simply sit on your window sill in order to get enough light to work. They store light during the day so that they can still function at night, and there’s no need to provide them with a mains electricity supply or conventional batteries. What’s more, most of these gadgets cost no more to buy than their traditional equivalents, so you can simply choose the green option when you replace your existing devices due to normal wear and tear. If you’d like to make a bigger difference, flexible solar panels are now available which you can simply unroll and hang down from your windows. These can power solar batteries which you can then use as a power source for any of your electronic household devices. They’re much cheaper than traditional solar arrays and they create a practical option for people who are unable to make structural changes to their homes. With all these solar options available, going green is no longer just a luxury for the rich - it’s something anyone can do, no matter where they live.
