Tips For Going Green in 2009
So you’re interested in going green in 2009? For example, by doing something simple such as switching from standard light bulbs to energy-saving CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs), you can expect to use up to 75% less energy on lighting. Just by making one adjustment, you have just saved gas money, utility money, and a pain in the neck.
The actor Ed Begley has a TV show in which he shows how he has transformed his entire lifestyle so he can be more eco-friendly.
Those of you who live in places like Green Bay, Wisconsin don’t have the luxury of biking through 6 feet of snow or driving a Prius in the same conditions. Instead of installing solar panels on your house, you can simply use Energy Star products throughout your home in order to save energy. There are plenty of simple changes that can be made which are eco-friendly and cost-cutting.
