Tip of the Day

Get out of the car one day a week – Spare the air by carpooling, using public transportation or biking. Using alternative transportation one or two days a week is manageable, and getting out from behind the wheel can be relaxing.

Boil only what you need – If you are only making one cup of tea don’t fill the kettle up. Only boil the amount of water you need. The microwave is an even better idea.

Clean or replace filters on your  air conditioner – Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

Use a washing line – Most homes have a dryer now, These machines use a huge amount of electricity. Dry your clothes on a washing line instead, It’s greener, cheaper and makes you clothes smell a lot fresher.

Replacing your light bulbs with energy efficient ones is half of the job, even better – get into the habit of turning lights off when you leave the room. It will also save you money too.
