Change to LED lights

If you ever wanted to collaborate in an environmentally friendly way, but never quite exactly know how, well look no further than your own living room!

Get a TV stream box like the Roku Box
This option is not one that comes to people naturally, but have you ever wondered how much waste is created by your home entertainment system? We might not be able to do much about the electricity consumption, after all, I don’t think I’ll convince you to start listening to music quietly am I? Instead, let me introduce you to Roku Box, an amazing little box that is already changing the way people consume entertainment world wide.
Just think of how much less plastic you will consume when you stop buying DVDs and CD’s: All that extra plastic and materials used (all the fuel consumption making and transporting them) all of that will be gone the second you get a Roku box. All you need is a decent internet connection and you will be ready access some 2000+ channels and an infinity of content right from your living room.
You can also access radio shows directly with the Roku Box, add of of this to the possibility of hooking up a terabyte of storage and you will be creating the perfect entertainment library all within these devices, no extra waste nor equipment needed!
