Tips for Energy
Conservation
Lighting
-
Use fluorescent bulbs where possible.
They give 5 times the light and last 10 times longer than incandescent
(ordinary) bulbs.
-
Use correct wattage; six 25 watt bulbs=same
light as one 100 watt bulb, and six bulbs use more energy than one.
-
Dirt absorbs light--keep lights clean.
Laundry
-
Wash and dry only full loads.
-
Use cold water.
-
Dry only as long as necessary--don't over
dry.
-
Remove clothes immediately to reduce wrinkling
and ironing.
-
Use a clothesline
-
Keep lint screens clean.
-
Dry in consecutive loads while drier is
warm.
-
Don't use too much soap--this makes washer
work harder.
