Going Green One Step at a Time

0
0


by Roger Marlow

I know you have heard this before. But! Sometimes, it’s those small seemingly unnecessary things that make a huge difference – especially if the majority of the general population implement them! If you want to take some small steps to make your life a little greener, here are some very simple suggestions.

1. Start a car pool

If you have to commute to work or school, see if you can combine vehicle use with a neighbor, friend, or work colleague. It’s not a huge step, but it’s one less car on the road that morning.

2. Leave the car at home

Do you have a bike or scooter? Do you like to walk? Why not leave the car in the garage. Besides the obvious of keeping one car off the road and reducing the greenhouse foot print, you burn calories, and add to your healthy life style. The biggest benefit you look and feel better!

If exercise is not for you or the distance is just not reasonable, then why not try public transportation. It’s a great way to travel and can be very relaxing, especially if you have a good book.

3. Don’t forget to recycle

If you are looking for ways to go green and you are not recycling then START! Here is a small step to start with. It is a simple project to purchase a couple extra trash bins to separate and store your recyclables. It is easy to recycle; recycling facilities are popping up everywhere (just think of the extra cash $50 -60 bucks is nice pocket change!) If that is just too much work all waste management companies are happy to pick up your recyclable goods They make a fortune off them.

4. Turn off the Lights

Turn off the lights! Forget the excuse, “Well I’m coming right back” every minute counts. Open your drapes and blinds during daylight hours and use natural light for reading, eating and household chores, and when it’s too dark use, only the lighting you need. Do not forget to change all incandescent to compact fluorescent CFs bulbs.

5. Too many Errands

Can you walk to the market? Ride with a neighbor, the company could make the chore go faster. Combine as many tasks and errands together as you can.

6. Precious Water

While the planet is abundant with water, useable, clean and safe drinking water is beginning to be in short supply. Try to conserve this precious commodity by using some simple common sense steps. For example:

You do not need to flush liquid every time you use the toilet, forget the yuck factor and you will save hundreds of gallons! Flush after two or three visits.

Wipe off dirty dishes in the compost area if you have one, then pre-rinse the dishes in a pan or a sink of water if necessary instead of placing them under running water. Then load the dishwasher in an efficient way and run only when it’s full on the ECO cycle this will help save lots of water.

If your car is not that dirty, don’t wash it, and when you must, use a hose with a trigger nozzle, when you soap and scrub the car turn the hose off. If you can wash the car on the lawn “two birds one stone ya know”.

7. Cooling and Heating

Forget the thermostat at night when you need to cool down for sleep turn your air conditioner on for an hour to cool things down open your windows open a few inches at night or when you leave the house. You can install a simple slide lock to protect from break in. If you’re cold turn your heat on for a few minutes when you wake and add a comforter and snuggle. You can install a programmable timer but it’s simpler than you think just to do things manually, it is amazing what you will save. Make sure you change the filters regularly; I buy reusable filters that I just hose off twice a year, a great way to save money and keep the old ones out of the land fill. Don’t forget fans they move both warm air and cool!

8. What you eat.

I’m not a vegetarian, however, meat has a huge greenhouse foot print compared to natures’ garden. Beef has the worst record of all the meat products. If one limits the amount of beef and substitutes chicken or fish you will make a huge difference, not only to the environment but to your overall health. Again, we’re talking small steps, if you try going meatless once or twice a week and substitute chicken for beef you’ll get used to it in no time. Commercially-raised meat has a very negative impact on the environment. Not only in the grain needed to support the feeding of livestock but all of the waste involved in the raising of these animals, not to mention all the methane released is a very critical greenhouse producing gas. So eat less meat, lower the demand and the fewer animals will be raised for consumption.

Shop local, support farmers markets and try organic food; they are easy to come by now. As you work towards these simple goals, we can have a significant, positive impact on the environment.

    Wind Power

    Home Wind.Net

    Take the guess work out of Wind Power. Their friendly customer service team will help you find the perfect set up your home.

    Take the FREE wind Power EVALUTION to find out what right for you

    An effective way to harness wind power is with a home wind turbine.
    These turbines are scaled to comply with residential structural codes and noise ordinances. Because wind power is inconsistent in most areas of the world, we don’t recommend normally that our customers utilize a wind generator alone to power a house. However, a single wind generator can ease the grid drawn power a household utilizes, and if coupled with other forms of clean energy, such as solar power, home wind turbines can be part of a completely off grid home’s power network. Multiple turbines can even be connected with a battery storage system in a type of miniature wind farm for the household that wants to be completely reliant on air for power.

    Home Wind offers many different turbines,
    hybrid solar-wind combinations,wind towers
    and much more

    ARE Tower Monopole ADD Gin Pole incl foundation kit 40′ 1-MPS-012M-01




    One of the most impressive aspects of air as a power source is that
    once the turbine is in place, it operates at zero carbon consumption
    ,
    making it an extremely environmentally friendly power source!
