SAVE ELECTRICITY & WATER
SAVE ELECTRICITY AND WATER
There are many ways to save on electricity and even water. If you live in the western States like I do, we are often on water rationing. Our water bills are very high. So how can we save more money on electricity and water bills?
Here’s a few ideas:
ELECTRICITY
Turn down your thermostat to 68 in the winter and 72 or more in the summer.
Leave it there. Put on an extra sweater if you’re cold.
Turn down your hot water heater to 120 degrees
Think about insulating those areas of the house leaking energy
Are your windows leaking? Seal them
Get some energy efficient long term light bulbs
Look into Energy efficient appliances
Think about solar and wind

WATER
Use a rainbarrel outside to capture rain water. Use it to water your garden and lawn.
Don’t flush the toilet so often.
Do less laundry. It is okay to use a towel more than once. Get your family in the habit of wearing a shirt or using a towel more than once before washing. Laundry uses lots of water. Use cold water when you can for laundry.
Don’t leave the water running while you brush your teeth.
Get a water saving shower head. Take more showers and less baths.
