Little things we all can do to conserve energy

June 23, 2008 |

Use CFL bulbs (This is a huge savings. If enough of us stop using convential bulbs business will stop making them. We have the power to dictate suppl and demand as we are the consumer!!!)
Turn lights out when you leave a room.
Buy a thermostat that can be programmed to lower the temperature during periods you are not at home.
Turn your thermostat down 1 degree. If we all did this it would make a huge difference.
Consolidate your shopping by making less ad-hoc trips to the store.
Get some exercise and walk from store to store instead of driving from lot to lot..
If you are ready to buy a new car get one with the best mileage.
Use public transportation more.
Carpool.
In the warmer months dry your clothes outside the old fashioned way.
Consider solar or wind energy.
Replace your desktop computer with a laptop.
If you are using an older computer monitor switch to an LCD monitor.
Turn your computer off instead of putting it in standbye or sleep mode.
