Electricity Saving Tips - Save The Environment And Your Wallet!
If you use a lot of energy in your house, you probably know that this is very expensive. Apart from that, it is polluting the earth as well! That's why I will show you a few quick and easy energy saving methods that you can use in your everyday life.
The biggest possible step in switching to less energy use and lower bills, is by using renewable energy sources. Here you can think of wind power, solar power, etc. These are all types of energy that are produced "green", so they are no burden on our environment. Apart from that, they can be an infinite source of free electricity for you!
If we had to choose a renewable energy source that one can easily apply at home, we'd have to say DIY Solar Power is the smart way to go. It is a cost-effective, simple and very clean energy source, so you can help save the environment while you make some money as well.
But if you don't want to switch to renewable energy, there are still other things you could do to use less non-renewable energy. We will show you a few points where you can help save the environment, and lower your bills as well:
1. Lights: You can save a lot of energy if you use CFL (fluorescent light) bulbs. They are scientifically proven to use way less energy than conventional bulbs. If you would change all the lights in your house to CFL, you would really see your energy bill getting lower (meaning mother earth gets a bit greener).
2. Cars: If you own one or more cars, of course it is important to look at their mileage and maybe switch to a hybrid vehicle. Another way you can save energy in your car, is to make sure that the air conditioner is set to the lowest possible value that you are still comfortable with. Air conditioning is a sure way to spend a lot of energy fast.
3. Washers: Now be honest, do you always wait with your washings until you have a full load? Or do you tend to just let the machine run whenever you need that special pink dress you like.. You probably know this, but your washer is a big energy waster. So only use it if you have a full load of clothes to wash.
4. Computer monitor: One very simple thing you can do, that will only cost you a split second.. Switch your monitor off when you shut down your PC! It sounds ridiculous, and it actually IS ridiculous, but there are many, many people that shut down their PC and go to bed, leaving their monitor on all night.
That's it for today. I hope you learned something new to help you change your level of energy use, and do your part in the battle against pollution! If you haven't done so yet, I would advise you to take a quick look at renewable energy, this is by far the best way to do some good for the planet and for your budget at the same time.
