While we often think adopting the “green” label requires a radical lifestyle transformation, it’s more about the subtle, everyday choices we make, like choosing to recycle and shop with reusable bags.
Interestingly, this report reveals that 59 percent of conventional consumers want to live a greener lifestyle, but cite cost as a roadblock, with 41 percent of conventional consumers saying that “going green” is too expensive. Fortunately, Vivint Solar offers a variety of solar plans that allow homeowners to embrace clean energy for zero money down, making it easier for consumers to save on their electric bills while reducing their impact on the environment.
Maybe Kermit the Frog had it wrong? Maybe it’s not so tough being green after all. A green consumer is not a long-haired hippie who only eats vegan and rides his/her bike to the farmers market on the weekend. It is quite possibly the person staring back at you in the mirror. If you are looking to go green and save on your electric bill, we make it easy to go solar.
