[QUOTE="FAVREFAN, post: 519553, member: 13078"] Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Change your 2.5GPM shower head to a 1.5GPM shower head. Look into whole house/point of use water heaters next time your water heater goes out. Get a water heater jacket/blanket. Insulate your hot water piping if possible. Change all your bulbs to CFL's....DUH! (LED's down the road) Next time you buy a car, consider better fuel efficiency, the Insight is out today. Install new weatherstripping around your doors. Install a stormdoor if you don't have one. Check all of your window caulking. Next time buy thermal blinds/curtains. Also, open blinds in winter days to let in sunlight/heat, close in summer to keep out sun light/heat. Take everything off of standby in your home.....Tv's, electronics, pc's. Idle electronics consistantly waste up to 10W of power 24 hrs per day. Get active. Speak out. Speak up at work about changes that we can make. Make it o.k. with others, don't force feed them, just educate. All these things and many others will not only make a difference environmentally, it will save you big money in the long run. Who doesn't want to save money? Let's all keep an open mind here. Take care. [/QUOTE]
