How?To save energy do any of the following- |
- Turn on your computer's energy savings settings on your personal computer. Screen savers don't save energy. Have the monitor shut off after 5-10 minutes and go to standby after 20 minutes
- Turn off lights everywhere when they aren't in use!
- Replace incandescent light bulbs with CFL's
- Plug your electronics into a power strip and turn it off when you aren't using it
- Recycle, you can power a CFL for 10 hours with the energy it takes to make a new aluminum can
- Take shorter showers at a lower temperature
- Turn your heat down a degree or two
- Unplug those mini-fridges!
- Use task lighting and turn off your overhead lights
- Unplug things in your room when you aren't using them, especially chargers
- Take the stairs
- Do laundry only when you have a full load
- Wash on cold- your clothes will last longer and dryer temperatures reach 190 degrees- that is hot enough to cook a steak
