Top ten Green Tips for your home
- Turn the temperature down on your geyser
- Use ceiling fans in the summer AND winter. By reversing the direction of the blades, warm air is pushed down, helping to keep rooms warm in winter.
- Save energy and wear and tear on your hardware by shutting down your computer at night.
- Repair leaky fixtures: one drop per second from a leaky faucet can waste as much as 37 litres of water each week.
- Install low-flow showerheads, faucets, and toilets, using less water.
- Choose carpeting, rugs, window treatments and other textiles made from natural fibers, such as cotton or wool, which are untreated and free of toxins, such as pesticides or chemical cleaners.
- Use cold water when using your washing machine. Most loads don't need hot water, and 90% of the energy used by washing machines goes into heating. The higher the water temperature, the higher the cost to you and the planet.
- Save natural resources -- as well as late fees -- by enrolling in online bill-paying options. Paperless billing not only saves trees, it also eliminates the fossil fuel needed to get all those billing envelopes from them to you and back again.
- Eliminate waste by choosing products that are biodegradable or recyclable.
- Print on both sides of the paper. Even though most software programs give that option, most of us still print only on one side of the page.
