More Ways to Save
A few more ways to easily save your energy!
- Close your windows at night, so that you don't loose heat
- Use fans when possible instead of an air conditioner. They lower the temperature 5º and still use less energy!
- Use rechargeable batteries. Also, make sure to take batteries to a toxic waste dump -- never, ever throw them in your regular trash, unless specifically told to!!!
- Save your computer energy! For the most energy efficient computer, next time buy a laptop, as they are more energy efficient than desktops. Also, Mac's are more energy efficient than PCs. Dim your monitor if possible. Also put your computer on sleep when you will be off of it for at least five minutes but are not going to shut it down.
