Tip # 1 Unplug and Save
In the average home, up to 40% of all electricity is used to power home appliances when they are turned off. a. Unplug your electric toothbrush and save 22 pounds of CO2 per year. b. Unplug your microwave and save 34 pounds of CO2 per year.
Tip # 2 Cold Water Washing
Most loads don’t need hot water, and 90% of the energy used by washing machines goes into heating. The higher the water temperature, the higher the cost to you and the planet.
Tip #3 Pay Bills Online
Paperless billing not only saves trees; it also eliminates the fossil fuels needed to get all those billing envelopes from them to you and back again.
