10 Ways To Save BIG On Your Energy Bill

Did you know that helping our environment can also save you money? According to the National Resources Defense Council, the two biggest offenders of global warming are cars and coal-burning power plants. What can you do about it? Here are 10 easy things you can do to save money on your energy bill and help reduce global warming:

 

  1. Turn Off The Power. Turn of your lights, computer, stereo, and TV equipment when you’re not using them. You’ll begin saving money immediately.

 

  1. Recycle. When you recycle your bottles, cans, newspapers and cardboard, you reduce CO2emissions by up to 850 lbs. per year.

 

  1. Drive A Fuel Efficient Car. 

 

  1. Walk, Bike, or Carpool. You’ll save money on fuel, improve your health, and help reduce CO2emissions.

 

  1. Use “Low-e” Thermal Windows and Doors. Consider these if you’re remodeling. They cost slightly more, but save a bundle in the long run.

 

  1. Insulate Your Water Heater. Water heaters consume 20% of a home’s energy bill. Plus, lower your heater’s thermostat to 120F, and you’ll save 6% a year on your home energy bill and cut carbon dioxide emissions.

 

  1. Replace Old, Inefficient Appliances. You’ll save money by buying high efficiency appliances – reducing CO2 emissions.

 

  1. Make Your Home Energy Smart. You’ll save money on your home heating and cooling bills when you insulate, caulk, and weather strip your doors and windows. This also will significantly reduce CO2emissions.

 

  1. Use A Low-Energy, Low Water Use Washing Machine. Using warm and cold water will help you save money and reduce CO2emissions.

 

  1. Tire inflation. Under-inflated tires waste 5% of a car’s fuel cost. Keep tires properly inflated and make sure your car is well maintained. This will extend the life of your car, save fuel, and reduce CO2 emissons!
