Saving Energy Every Day

How to Save Energy in Our Daily Life:

We all learned about the renewable and non-renewable sources of energy in school. However, we never paid much attention to the rapid consumption of the non-renewable sources of energy until recently. The world is faced with severe energy crisis now and none of us remain unaffected anymore. Should we leave everything to the governments, or can we do something to save power?

The answer is simple: we can.

Tips on how you can Save Energy in Your Homes.

Computer: More often than not, we do not switch off our monitors even after we have shut down our computers. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. You can also set your "energy saving" settings for the computer and the monitor. Start practicing this even when at work. You will help save some more precious energy for the whole world.

Light bulbs: You must have seen compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs being advertised all the time. You must have even used them at times. As a power-saving measure, start using the CFL light bulbs as much as you can. If you are thinking they are more expensive than the regular bulbs, the benefits of the CFL bulbs will prove much more cost-effective in the long turn by the amount of power they will save.

Air Conditioner: Set the temperature at the minimum or maximum best you are comfortable with, depending on the season. Try not to set it at too high or too low temperatures. Setting the air conditioner at reasonable temperatures helps save a lot of energy.

Washing Machines: Do you use your washing machine as often as you want? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not enough clothes to wash? Minimize the number of washes by washing full load of clothes every time.

Television: Unplug the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound a big deal but this tiny step will help save power.>OR< Turn off the Power Button so the red light goes out – “Standby” mode can use a lot of energy on many models.

Hot Water Heater: Keep the Hot Water thermostat at the minimum heat. You do not need to heat the water at a very high temperature or for too long.

Refrigerator: Bring hot food to room temperatures before putting it into the refrigerator. You can also save power by taking cold or frozen food out of the refrigerator much before the mealtime, thereby saving power in heating it.

Car: For an air-conditioner equipped car, put up the windows of your car before switching on the air-conditioner. Drive in the proper gears and @ the proper speeds to help conserve fuel.

Ideas For Learning How to be Living Green:

Just a few Quick Tips to get our Blog Started to doing our part in Going-Green!

Climate change is a threat that can only be combated if everyone takes action. Although government policies and regulations as well as big business will make the most significant changes, as individuals, families and communities we can all play our part and make a difference.

The following eco-friendly tips will help you in three ways. You will learn how to help stop climate change and help the environment, save yourself time and energy, and save cash!

1. Use your microwave rather than your oven or hob.

Microwaves often use under 50% of the energy needed by conventional ovens. If you use air conditioning in the summer using an oven will heat your kitchen and therefore cause your air conditioning to work harder and use even more energy. Use your microwave to help the environment and save on electricity costs.

2. Use Low Energy Light Bulbs

Low energy, eco-friendly light bulbs usually use around 20% of the energy needed by a conventional light bulb and last 10-15 times longer. Fitting and using low energy light bulbs is quick and simple, and is an easy way to help the environment and reduces your electricity costs.

3. Have a shower not a bath.

Showers use a lot less water and electricity/gas than having a bath. Choosing to have a shower, rather than a bath, is both eco-friendly and a great way to save money easily.

4. Choose Eco-friendly in everyday life.

You may be surprised to discover that there are many eco-friendly, environmentally sustainable products and services available.
