Those are great, but you could win this one: HGTV is giving away their GREEN HOME 2010 "eco-friendly cottage." The winner also gets a GMC Terrain and $100,000. I entered, maybe you should too. http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv-green-home-2010-giveaway/package/index.html
Oh, before I go here are a few tips I've been given here and there:
1) Use low energy fluorescent light bulbs
2) Turn down or up (depending on the weather) the thermostat
3) Buy Energy Star appliances
4) Conserve water (especially if you live somewhere like here where we use cisterns and don't like buying water)- Don't let the faucet run while you are brushing and lathering up and flush for number two, but not for number one. Buy low flow shower heads and water conserving toilets.
5) Use used/recycled materials when building whenever practical
6) Use a power strip and turn it off when you leave the house or aren't using the electrical appliances
7) Put your outdoor lights and water heater on a timer
Do you have any tips you can share?
