On average, Americans waste as much energy as two-thirds of the world’s population consumes. That’s largely the result of driving inefficient cars, using inefficient appliances, and living and working in poorly insulated buildings.
Then what can you do to improve the situation?
Buy energy-efficient products.―Buy new appliances or electronics of the highest energy-efficiency rating. New energy-efficient models may cost more initially, but have a lower operating cost over their lifetimes. The most energy-efficient models carry the Energy Star label, which identifies products that use 20―40 percent less energy than standard new products. According to the EPA, the typical American household can save about $400 per year in energy bills with products that carry the Energy Star.
Switch to compact fluorescent bulbs. ― Change the three bulbs you use most in your house to compact fluorescents. Each compact fluorescent bulb will keep half a ton of carbon dioxide out of the air over its lifetime. Moreover, compact fluorescent bulbs last ten times as long and can save $30 per year in electricity costs.
Set heating and cooling temperatures correctly. ― Check thermostats in your home to make sure they are set at a level that doesn’t waste energy. Get an electronic thermostat that will allow your furnace to heat the house to a lower temperature when you’re sleeping and return it to a more comfortable temperature before you wake up.
Turn off the lights. ―Turn off lights and other electrical appliances such as televisions and radios when you’re not using them. Install automatic timers for lights that people in your house frequently forget to turn off when leaving a room.
