Put An ‘X’ On Global Warming (Part III)
For the last set of tips (with the first part and second part already given a couple of days ago), we’d find stuff we could do with our transportation, water heaters, old appliances, doorways, push mowers, and unused appliances. Read on.
- Buy a Fuel Efficient Car: Getting a few breathe. Save 2,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year.
- Insulate Your Water Heater: Keep your water heater insulated could save 1,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $40 per year.
- Replace Old Appliances: Inefficient appliances waste energy. Save hundreds of lbs. of carbon dioxide and hundreds of dollars per year.
- Weather Strip your Doorways: Caulk and weather strip your doorways and windows. Save 1,700 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $274 per year.
- Use a Push Mower: Use your muscles instead of fossil fuels and get some exercise. Save 80 lbs of carbon dioxide per year.
- Unplug Unused Electronics: Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy. Save over 1,000 lbs of carbon dioxide and $256 per year.
