Go Green and Save Money!

I wrote an article a couple of years ago with 3 things that you can do to save money and be and lessen your personal carbon footprint.

1) Turn off lights that you are not using. MythBusters which is on the Discovery channel proved without a doubt that turning off the lights is going to save you energy and if it is in the summer time, it will reduce the heat being generated in the room, which will keep the room cooler, meaning les air conditioning.. Make a game out of it, and collect money for the electric bill every time that they leave a light on, nothing like a little incentive for the little energy wasters!

Here is another idea how about taking the blankets off the bed in the smmer time when you are usingthe air con and just use a sheet? if you get cold then you turn the air down to a more comfortable seting aving you money on the air con and also on cleaning all the bedding!




2) Clean the filters on your air conditioner and your furnace. Give the poor things a break, and let them work less and you save money at the same time; again this is good for everybody except for the energy companies, but hey, haven't they taken enough of your money all ready!



3) Turn down the water heater. Come on you can do it! I didn't say turn it off, just turn it down a little bit, especially in the summer, try to get it so that the last one taking a shower in the morning has to hustle a little bit, before the hot water runs out, that's the perfect setting! And when you think about it do you really need to steam up the whole room so much that it looks like you got a fog machine going on and you come out looking like a lobster nah!

Looking for somthing to do with the money that you saves how about a EcoAdventure Asia Scuba Diving ?
