5 Easy Ways to Save Energy at Home
With Earth Day quickly approaching it’s time to start saving energy! There are plenty of simple things you can do to help you reduce your energy consumption and limit your environmental impact.
1. Turn off your dishwasher’s drying cycle and allow your dishes to air dry.
2. Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. These provide the same amount of light while using less energy.
3. Shut off and unplug your electronic devices when you’re not using them! This includes your cell phone charger that seems to always stay plugged in.
4. Use a toaster oven to warm up leftovers rather than your regular oven.
5. Avoid over-drying your clothes in the dryer. Check them before the cycle is over to see if they need the extra 15 minutes to dry or not.
