Whenever you save energy, you not only save money, you also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal, oil, and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary contributor to global warming, and other pollutants.
You do not have to do without to achieve these savings. There is now an energy efficient alternative for almost every kind of appliance or light fixture. That means that consumers have a real choice and the power to change their energy use on a revolutionary scale.
The average American produces about 40,000 pounds of CO2 emissions per year. Together, we use nearly a million dollars worth of energy every minute, night and day, every day of the year.
In the summer, when the air is humid, the temperature is at it's highest, and your sitting at home sweating because you can't afford to pay for your air conditioning electric needs. You can simply create a one time, simple solution, that will last you forever. Also saving, and preserving the very planet that you live in. By conserving energy, and even producing it yourself you help earth stay the way it is now. Global Warming is pushing our planet to it's limits. If left unchecked the sea level rise of 40 feet can be expected somewhere in the not so distant future.
Here are a few more simple ways to conserve energy:
- Do not leave your Air Conditioner on while you are out or it is simply not needed. In fact it is estimated that your Air Conditioner wastes about $0.25 worth of energy in one hour.
- A simple thing as a light switch can effect your consumption rate. Buy a dimmer, which allows you to select the brightness of your light. Which can help you use less of energy but not turning the light bulb on all the way.
- Purchase fluorescent light bulbs. They not only are brighter, but they also last up to 10 times longer then a usual bulb while consuming a quarter of the power.
- Insulate your windows. Heat can easily escape your home through cracks and opening in walls and windows. Spending some cash insulating, can lead to huge savings in the long run.
- Turn your appliances, especially the computer off when you are not using it. Waiting 5 minuets for it to turn on beats the enormous amount of money that you will save on your bill at the end of the month.
Following the steps mentioned above, and described in article can considerably lower your monthly bill, keep your family safe, and most importantly keep the ground that you step on in good shape. Some maybe inconvenient, but that is just something you will have to overcome. Because our planet is changing, and it is changing very fast.
Very usefull article, to add to this
1. change your flurocent tube light to Compact Flurocent Light (CFL)
2. there are many power savers for home/office which will improve the PF of the used supply. due to this end up using lesser power from department; which is benificial for both ie user and supplier.
