Going Green Saves You Money

green_moneyMore tips on how Going Green will save you money:

Saving money while saving ENERGY:

• Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and few degrees higher in the summer to save on costs
• Unplug appliances when you are not using them OR use a “smart” power strip that senses when appliance are off and cuts “phantom” energy use
• Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible.
• Use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy otherwise used during the machine drying. If you must use a dryer, consider adding dryer balls to cut the drying time.

Saving money while saving WATER:

• Take shorter showers. This will lower your heating bill too.
• Install a low-flow showerhead.
• Make sure you have a faucet aerator on each faucet. These inexpensive appliances conserve heat and water, while keeping water pressure high.
• Plant drought- tolerant native plants.
