Here are five things to buy to go green:
Did you know that if every house in America would change five regular lamps for fluorescent lamps, it would be like taking 1 million cars off the motorway for a whole year? Imagine how much energy will be saved if this happened? Not to mention that a lot of dollars would be saved since they are very cheap and last longer than the regulars.
2. Outdoor solar lighting:
Also very cheap to buy, they don’t burn any electricity at all nor do they produce any CO2 and they look good in the yard or patio.
3. Programmable thermostats:
They aren’t considered cheap but not expensive either. But these thermostats can save some money from your heating and cooling bills. All you need to do is adjust the settings, cool in winter and warmer in the summer if you’re not in the house. By just 2 degrees less you can reduce the CO2 emissions in a home by 9% a year.
4. Air filters:
Another 2% of CO2 emissions can be reduced if you change the air filters in your heating and cooling systems often.
