Cheap Eco Common Sense, Easy, Save money Now!
I wrote this as a article a while back and it still makes alot of common sense and saves you money. The biggest thing in my mind that need to happen is to get people thinking, and more importantly, acting on the enviroment. The best place to start is right where you are standing. Think about this if you are standing anywhere near an ocean Bangkok LA or New York or Hawaii how much of an inconvience is going to be for you if the oceans are just 10 feet higher than they are today? Scares the shit out of me and I spend alot of time in Aspen Colorado.
The thing that I like the most about this is that you are thinking about the environment, and hopefully the people that are going to be severely affected by the rising seas, the shifting and more cataclysmic weather and the reward of money that you are going to keep in your pocket. Going green should be though of as saving green because the less energy you use, directly affects the money you burn up needlessly. Save it up to get a happening hybrid car and sell the SUV and the money you save on gas, get the kids a really cool bike, they will be healthier for it.
1) Turn off lights that you are not using. MythBusters which is on the Discovery channel proved without a doubt that turning off the lights is going to save you energy and if it is in the summer time, it will reduce the heat being generated in the room, which will keep the room cooler, meaning les air conditioning.. Make a game out of it, and collect money for the electric bill every time that they leave a light on, nothing like a little incentive for the little energy wasters!
2) Clean the filters on your air conditioner and your furnace. Give the poor things a break, and let them work less and you save money at the same time; again this is good for everybody except for the energy companies, but hey, haven’t they taken enough of your money all ready!
3) Turn down the water heater. Come on you can do it! I didn’t say turn it off, just turn it down a little bit, especially in the summer, try to get it so that the last one taking a shower in the morning has to hustle a little bit, before the hot water runs out, that’s the perfect setting! And when you think about it do you really need to steam up the whole room so much that it looks like you got a fog machine going on and you come out looking like a lobster nah!
