Many people would like to be more eco friendly but they're not sure how to start. Here are five products that can start you and your family on the path of a more environmentally friendly way of life.

1. Solar Lighting - You want the walkways in your front yard to be well-lighted for the safety of your visitors. Plus, it's aesthetically pleasing when front and backyard living spaces are well-lit. But leaving the electric lights on is a waste of energy.

By using solar lighting in your yard you eliminate this problem. There are solar lights for stepping stones or candle path markers to lead to your front door. Shoji lanterns are available to light patio and deck areas.

You can even find solar powered lighting for off the grid places like storage shed or gardens. These lights are waterproof and easy to install.

2. Programmable Thermostats - By using one of these thermostats you can make optimal use of your heating and cooling devices. They can be pre-programmed so your house is cool (or warm) when you need it to be but energy isn't wasted when no one's home.

3. Smart Power Strip - You know that when your television and computer is plugged in it continues to use energy, even when the devices are turned off. But who wants to take time after every use to unplug each component and then plug it in the next time it's used? This innovative smart power strip solves this problem without the hassles.

When you shut down the main component such as a computer, the strip knows to shut down all the peripherals such as printer, etc. This can save up to 72% of the energy used.

4. eBooks - Compulsive readers love the feel of a book in their hand and that will never change. But slowly even the most die hard book fans are giving in to the convenience and environmentally friendliness of eBooks.

5. Water Purifiers - You can remove 99% of tap water impurities by using a water purifier. By not buying bottled water in plastic containers you not only save the environment but your budget, too.

These are a sample of the products you can use to make your home more environmentally friendly and save money at the same time. Eco friendly products are simple to use and now easier to locate thanks to the internet and environmentally friendly web stores.
