Going green can be easy and we want to help you find ways with some simple advice to make your life greener.
Here’s how you can go green and save some money at the same time.
Unplug appliances when you're not using them.
Even when a television is off, it still gives off energy equal to 100 watt light bulb that's running constantly.
Put your computer in sleep mode or set it to hibernate automatically after about 30 minutes of inactivity.
Enabling that function is less time consuming than restarting every time and it saves energy.
Use your windows to your advantage
In winter, close the blinds at night to keep heat inside the home.
During summer, keep the blinds closed when the air conditioner is running to keep things cool.
