Green Tip #40
Winter Preparation

Winter is coming. Here are a few ways you can go green:

1. Let the sun in.
   The sun provides natural light and warmth open your curtains to take advantage. Close them in the evening for insulation.
   
2. Install a programmable thermostat.
   Set the temperature lower when you aren't in the house. Save some green and you won't even notice the temperature difference.
   
3. Stop the drafts.
   For about $30 you can stop drafts near windows and doors by sealing them with caulk or weather stripping. You'll save that much in a month.

Each small action on the part of an individual, when combined with the actions of others, makes great strides toward improving our environment.
