At this stage of our life, hopefully, each of us has made some changes in our daily habits which help to reduce our carbon footprint. Some of the more common changes probably are recycling and replacing our incandescent bulbs with LED or CFL bulbs. Perhaps, we can go a step further and adopt one of these following eco savers or some other you prefer: if your house has high ceilings install ceiling fans to save 19% yearly ;install a programmable thermostat and program it to turn itself down or off when you are sleeping or at work to save 10%; to save 9% wash your clothes in cold water which cleans as well as hot; plug your appliances into power strips and flip the switch when not in use; save all your errands that require a vehicle for a single trip; drive the speed limit or lower on highways, brake softly and accelerate gradually to gain 40%more miles per gallon. Such practices benefit us monetarily; but more importantly they benefit our Earth for whose care we have a responsibility.
