Want To Go Green To Save The Environment But Not Sure How To Start?
April 19, 2009 by John McRae · Leave a Comment
Do you feel like you are being constantly bombarded with negative information about the environment? Does it seem everywhere you turn you are expected to go green to save the planet? Many people feel the same way and have know idea where to begin or think that to save the environment they need to buy a new hybrid car or spend thousands of dollars on solar panels for their house.
The good news is that you don’t need to thousands of dollars to help save the environment. With just a few minor changes in your life you can be on your way to going green and helping reduce global warming.
Here are a few ideas to get started,
Mirrors, placed strategically in a room can be used to make use of natural lighting more efficiently, and reduce energy use as well. When placed near indoor plants, mirrors act like a second window creating better growing conditions while giving the illusion of increased space and greenery to the ambiance of a room.
When loading the clothes dryer, fluff the wet and tangled laundry before tossing into the machine. This allows for immediate and more efficient use of dryer energy. Very hot settings (which can actually shrink clothing) can thus be avoided.
Typically, the heated air from a clothes dryer is pumped outside and wasted. Consider purchasing a dryer vent converter – available at most hardware stores. These are little boxes that divert the heated air from the dryer into the house during the cold and dry winter months – making better use of your energy dollar while saving a little on heating costs. Be warned that this air is moist, and this may not be appropriate in all situations. Homes with dry static air or wood heat would benefit from the moisture, but buildings that already have a moisture problem (evident by mould and mildew or sweating and frosted windows) will only have their issues compounded by doing this.
These are just a few ideas to demonstrate how easy it is to go green while saving some money. Imagine how many other small things you can do around the home or office. Once the ideas have begun to flow, they will cause a ripple effect cascading into other aspects of your life. Then, hopefully, we can begin to save our planet one person at a time.
