Green Tips
Turn Your Computer Off at Night
The energy savings can really add up. In one year, if you shut your machine off at night, you’ll save an average of $90 worth of electricity.
Insulate Your Water Heater
Hot water accounts for 13% of a typical utility bill, so improving efficiency goes a long way. Consider wrapping your old heater in a layer of insulation. For the nominal cost of about $15, an insulating jacket can reduce heat lost through the walls of the tank by 25-40%.
Choosing a better bulb
Switching from incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) will cut your dependence on energy and save you about $25 to $60 per CFL. CFLs may be higher in cost, but each lasts ten to fifteen times longer than an incandescent that provides the same light, at a quarter to a third the cost per hour.
