Energy conservation tips
We’ve posted a lot about water conservation, but energy conservation is important too. What are the benefits of conserving energy? For starters, reduced utility bills (something we can all appreciate). Conserving energy also reduces our consumption of non-renewable energy, thereby minimizing our negative impact on the environment.
Here are some ideas for conserving energy. Best of all, these simple changes won’t cost you a thing:
- Turn off lights (and TV) when you leave a room. Simple, but we often forget to do it.
- Hand-wash dishes. When you do use the dishwasher, turn off the heat-drying option.
- Shake out wet laundry before placing it in the dryer: it won’t take as long to dry, saving you time too!
- Unplug – don’t just turn off – appliances when not in use. When appliances are turned off but still plugged in, they continue to use electricity.
- Use the front door instead of the garage door.
- Air-dry hair instead of using a hair dryer.
