Saving Energy,,, my ideas I am implementing






Ok
so after some thinking, I NEED to save more energy.

My computer is on about 5 out of 7 days a week, and I do indeed spend a lot of time on it, so my plan over the next month is to:
  • cut my computer sitting time to less than 50% of what it is
  • also ensuring my computer is turned off at night time
  • unplugging toaster, computer, dvd player, tv, microwave and other items not being used at that time(eg. only plugging them in to use them). I will be unplugging all charger cords and anything I find plugged in that is not in use. 
  •  turn off outdoor light, no matter how scary it may be at night time, will light a candle in return
  • use a candle to light our kitchen and bathroom at night time (p.s. BLOW THEM OUT BEFORE BED, DO NOT LEAVE A CANDLE BURNING UNATTENDED, my dads a firefighter  )
These tips alone, that I plan to commit to as soon as tonight, should cut my energy bill down by a LOT! AND it save our family from burning any fossil fuels that dont need to be burned.
Hmmm I wonder how hard it would be to unplug my washing machine and dryer each day lol...


Wish me patience, luck and light
