Conservation:
Conservation applies to setting aside parts of the landscape to be protected from development to turning off faucets while you brush your teeth to save water. Energy saved = Energy generated.
Becoming Green Consumeruse :
Unplug electrical devices when you are not using them. They consume energy even when turned off.
Try using public transportation, walking or carpooling.
Low-radiation electronic appliances.
Switch to Energy Efficient Lighting:
The regular light bulbs have a lower sticker price, but they waste a considerable amount of electricity and have to be replaced often. Instead switch over to more energy efficient lighting like LEDge+.
Re-purpose older products
There is always a creative way to re-purpose what you no longer use in its original form. That way, less products wind up being thrown onto an ever-building pile of trash that could have been used in a new way.
Properly operate and maintain your appliances:
Buying energy-efficient appliances is a good step in helping to reduce your long term green house gas emissions. Also, improve the energy efficiency of older appliances. For example, refrigerator s should not be placed next to heat sources such as ovens or heaters that force them to over-work in order to maintain cool temperatures.
Heat and cool house efficiently
Pay attention to how high or low your thermostat is set, avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. Lowering your heat by just a few degrees in the winter and setting your air conditioner a couple of degrees higher in summer can add up to real energy savings over time. Heating & cooling needs cause some of the highest CO2 emissions.
Consume less:
Energy is consumed in the manufacturing and transport of everything you buy, which means there are fossil fuel emissions at every stage of production. A good way to reduce the amount of energy you use is simple to buy less. Before making purchase, ask yourself if you really need it.
