• It Pays to Live Green Pays to Live Green will focus on all of my interests including: finance and finding bargains, the environment, alternative sources of energy, organic and sustainable products, nutrition and technology. A major aspect of this blog will be to focus on different ways you can save money by going “green”. One of the major concerns with the new “green” movement is the expenses involved with it. I want to show you ways to save money, whether it be immediately or in the long-run, on products and services that can help preserve our planet. Going “green” does not mean that you have to completely alter your lifestyle or sacrifice things just to make a difference. As I have found out, not everything is going to work for you. All I ask is to bring an open mind.

Recently, I have been covering the growth and development transforming the landscape. I love seafood, rambles in the country and good stories.
