| 1. Substituting just one CFL for a tradition bulb will keep 1/2 ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere over the life of the bulb. CFL bulbs use 66% less energy than incandescent bulbs and can last up to 15 times longer. If every household changed from using 5 regular bulbs to compact fluorescents it would be the equivalent of taking 8 million cars of the read for one year. 2. Unplug your cell phone charger when you're not using it. Standby power, also called Vampire power, refers to the electric power consumed by electronic appliances in a standby mode. A very common electricity vampire is a power adapter built on a plug with no power switch. However, while this consumption of power is used to provide functions for appliances such as remote controls and digital clocks to the user, most of the power consumed is considered wasted. 3. Power strips like adapters draw power. Even if nothing is plugged into them the little lighted switch is drawing .25 to 1.25 watts. Turn off the power strip – after you've turned off other electronic devices – and you're saving energy. 4. Look on the bottom of your electricity bill to see if they have an option for you to purchase green or alternative energy. Check with your local electricity provider to see if they provide green energy. But energy certificates or carbon off-sets. A carbon offset organization reduces the net carbon emissions of individuals or organizations by developing programs that reduce greenhouse gasses. Some of the projects they may invest in are tree planting, renewable energy, or energy conservation. 5. Toxic detergents for your dishwasher and sink run through your pipes and into our drainage system that lead directly to our rivers, lakes, and streams. Use non-toxic, blodegradable detergents around the house. |
