Tip #40
Winter Preparation
Winter is coming. Here are a few ways you can
go green:
- Let the sun in.
The sun provides natural light and warmth open your curtains
to take advantage. Close them in the evening for insulation.
- 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.
- 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.
