How To Make Your House More Green

 

The easiest way to make your house more green and to save energy is to replace your lightbulbs with CFLs. They use much less energy and reduce your carbon emmissions greatly.

It might not be apealing to many peole but one of the best ways to save money and electricity is to lower your thermostat in the winter and raise it in the summer. Doing this helps because the thermostat has to do less work because the temperature is already coming from outside so the thermostat has to do less to keep the temperature even.

One of the greatest energy wasters is an air leakin your house and plugging them can save up to 25% of your energy cost. The easiest way to fix this problem is to plug the holes in the walls with a sealant. The leaks in the walls cause the air to mix with the outside air which affects the temperature of yopur house causing your thermostat to work harder,using more energy.

 

All of these methods can save you energy and are a great way to help the environment
