| Save Energy Looking for ways to
save energy can help you to save money as well when it comes time to
pay your electric bill. And you don't have to switch to alternative
energy source for that electricity, although that is a good idea in
itself. Setting your home thermostat down a few degrees in the
winter and up a few degrees in the summer will waste less energy.
Changing to compact fluorescent light bulbs will save energy and put
fewer light bulbs in landfills. Washing your clothes with cold water
and then drying them on a clothesline will help you to save a lot of
money and energy when you do the laundry.
Save Water
Another way to go eco friendly and save cash is to save water.
Try taking shorter showers or installing a low-flow showerhead. Wait
to run dishwashers and washing machines until you have a accumulated
a full load. And when planting outside, look for plants that need a
minimal amount of watering. When it comes to the water you drink,
skip on buying the bottled stuff and instead get a filter for your
home tap reducing plastic bottle consumption. Carry a reusable water
bottle filled with your filtered water with you to help reduce waste
and cut your costs.
When your saving energy and water you are saving green! |
