Greening Our World

Green Tip of the Day:
Tankless heaters save energy that is typically used to store hot water on standby and they conserve water that goes unused while water is heating up. With both energy and water savings, seems like a no-brainer in conservation.

Start using drip irrigation for your garden, lawn, orchard or other planting needs on any kind of land and improve your water efficiency by two-thirds

Green Tip of the Day:
Looking and feeling for light and drafts around plumbing and electrical penetrations, doors and windows can identify leaks that are sucking heat right out of your home and will help save energy and money that is being wasted.

Be relaxed while you drive. If you are speeding, accelerating or breaking excessively can reduce your gas mileage by as much as 33%, costing you over a dollar more per gallon. Not only is it safer, but it is greener and will save you money too! I call that a win-win :)

Flimsy disposables cleaning products don't stand up well to tough jobs and this fact compounds their overuse and wastefulness. You are better off with natural cleaning products and a little elbow grease to get a good cleaning done.

When you dim a light, you lower the amount of energy flowing to that light bulb. So if you use a dimmer that means you will save power, which saves money and who knows maybe add a little ambiance to your place :)

Green Tip of the Day:
Refillable cosmetic containers reduce the amount of energy used to produce and ship hard plastic, glass, and chrome packaging because fewer containers need to be produced.

It means less of a mess for me, I was always making a mess with those things lol. Plus think you will not only be helping save the enviornment but also saving money.

I love not having to change the coffee filter anymore.

That is so great Kayceekat! I did too and find it less of a hassle as well :)
