Going green can be so simple, for example I just realized that I've been doing something right without even knowing it. When it comes to cleaning up, I'm a shower person. Not since I was a kid did i like taking baths and even then I'm not sure I liked them. If you can, get rid of baths! By taking showers you'll use about half the amount of water that you would if you were taking a bath. So next time you go to get clean, go green and take a shower!
If you're anything like me, you've probably seen your heat bill jump a few notches since winter began. Good news though; not only are Kidd & Elizabeth from 99.1 WMYX going to help you with the bill, but WE Energies is out with their new energy mapper online. It lets you look at your energy use, and make some smart choices to conserve energy use and better insulate your home during the winter months. Take a look and see what you could do for your home!
One of the many under-appreciated bits of green legislation snuck into the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was that electric utilities (as well as businesses and homeowners) could also get a 30% tax credit if they invest in renewable energy.
This electric utility eligibility for green power incentives could drive renewable energy in the US. Homeowners and businesses might merely like to add renewable energy – but in twenty four states now utilities must buy more renewable energy and are penalized if they don’t.
Make your own cleaning supplies. Baking soda, peroxide, vinegar, lemon and gentle soaps are all effective cleaning supplies. Cleaning your home with these common items is easier on your home's interior, and your wallet.
Going green is so simple at times, it's just a matter of knowing some facts! For instance, did you know that reducing your speed from 70 mph to 55 can reduce your fuel efficiency by 23 percent? Plus the less you speed, the less you'll pay out in speeding tickets. So let off the gas pedal a little, you'll being saving some green while you go green!
