Title: Ten Steps to Going Green, Saving money, Conserving Energy & Saving our planet.
Going green is the talk of the day. Every business and home is trying to go green to save money. There are many green energy solutions and many of these solutions are too expensive and out of reach for many small businesses and home owners.
DELAND, FL, October 31, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Below are ten simple and affordable energy saving tips to consider when going green.
1. Consider an exterior solar lighting system for night security. Exterior lights are important for those wanting that extra layer of security at night. Why not have a lighting system that will do its job without putting a hole in your pocket.
2. Get a power strip cord for your computer. By doing this, you will not only save 1-2% on your energy bill, you will also add an extra layer of protection for your computer system by further removing it from the electrical grid when it is turned off.
3. When it is time to replace you air conditioning unit, do your homework, find out how you could save some extra cash by using environment friendly SEER Units. Many older models have a SEER number of 9 or so. The newest models go up to 23 SEER. Increasing efficiency by 5-8%. By going from 9 to 23? You will save 70%+ on your cooling costs! AC units can be real hogs, so this is a great way to save.
4. Do you have dark interior rooms? If so, consider an interior solar system. If I am right, almost every home has an interior room which is dark even during the day. Lighten it up during the day with no electricity involved.
5. Thinking about Going Green? Then, start yourself on the road to alternative solar energy with a fun and easy gadget. Like a solar cell phone charger, or an Africa lamp used as a night light and for Ipod users, there is now a solar Ipod charger.
6. This next gadget is probably one of the most important going green systems. Solar water heaters. Do you know how much electricity you use per year? An average of 5000kwh. That is right. A solar water heater is such a great idea it is a total no brain er.
7. Winter is coming and with it cold temperatures consider changing the insulation in your attic to save
8. When decorating for Christmas or any other holiday, consider LED lights. LED s are champs for low energy usage and high output
9. Change your light bulbs to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). You can find CFLs where light bulbs are sold.
10. When considering to buy a car look for gas efficient or alternative fuel vehicles. Walking, car pooling & riding bikes also helps save. Travel smarter!
