Renewable Energy World

We all want to do our part to protect the environment, but without a large paycheck, that can be seem difficult, if not impossible. But doing your part doesn’t have to be hard. Small steps add up to a big difference, you just have to know which ones to take.

Use less of water
Saving water is all about small steps, here are a few that will help save big.

1. Shut off the water while you brush your teeth
2. Take showers that are a minute or two shorter
3. Only flush the toilet when you need to
4. Only run full loads of laundry and dishes
5. Buy from sustainable producers. These are farmers, ranchers, and other producers that use techniques that pollute less and use less water. You can do some research online or ask at your local organic market to find these products.

Use less energy

If you don’t have the money to buy a hybrid car or convert your house to solar power, you can make a big difference with small changes.

1. Buy energy efficient appliances. They may be more expensive, but make up for the increased cost in lower energy bills.
2. Unplug chargers when you’re not using them. Cell phone and other chargers use up powers even if there’s nothing attached to them.
3. Put devices with remotes, like T.V.s, VCRs, and stereos, on a power strip and turn it off when you’re not using them. These devices use a lot of power to run the remote receiver even when the device is off.
4. Walk or ride your bike for short trips.
5. Buy local products. It takes energy to transport food and other products across the country. Buying local not only supports your local economy, it helps them use less energy.
