Do you have an energy hog in your home or business? People who just don't understand the cost of things. They regularly leave the lights on, stand in front of the refrigerator trying to decide what to eat/drink, or wash only 1 or 2 things in the washing machine/dryer? You are not alone. This post was written just for you to bring you some backup. Energy prices are at a high. Although incomes are not correspondingly high, motivating these types of people, in the matter of saving energy, proves difficult. Especially those who do not understand or consider the meager savings worthwhile. Read on for an easy way to fight back. You will see MORE than just meager results... REVOLUTIONIZE & EDUCATE It's time to motivate energy wasters to save energy in their own interests, in their community's interests and for the planet. The impression that "every dollar saved counts", is a service to the world in terms of environmental improvement and is a service to the society to promote a better class of living. Another strong incentive would be to give them the liberty of spending some of the dollars saved for the cause that they choose or for newly created ideas that promote social good. This is a win/win. Take, for instance, the energy waste that affects every one of our households. Several factors contribute to this waste. Imagine the amount of savings you could affect by being prudent at home. Simple things like:
- Use a power strip fully to cut off power to all electrical appliances, which are consuming current by simply being in the standby option.
- Sensible use of the heaters and the air conditioners by connecting a digital thermostat and setting the temperature to the best operating levels (depending upon the season) will pay rich dividends and considerably cut your energy bills.
- Only using the dishwasher or clothes washer when you have a full load to do.
