For this month's "green living" post, I found some interesting tidbits that show how effective green living can be.
*Every house in the US that changes all their light bulbs to CFLs = taking 1 car off the roads
*Turning off you computer at night (rather than using Sleep mode) = about $0.04 a day (about $15.00 a year)
*Showers use about 1/2 the amount of water as baths. Every 1 minute you shorten your shower = about 5 gallons of water saved
*Every house in the US paying their bills online = 18 million trees saved every year
*Thermostat adjustment: Every 1 degree lower in the winter or higher in the summer = about 10% annual savings on your energy bill
If you keep your car tires properly inflated, your car will travel more miles on less gas.
Going to a car wash uses less water than washing your car at home (and it takes less time & personal energy!!)
Together, we CAN make a difference!
