Best Eco Stuff

Yes, It’s Monday. I know, I know…everyone’s most favorite day of the week.

Here are a few tips to get your week off to a roaringly green start.

1. Shift your appliance use to off-peak hours - typically 9 pm - 7 am. Your utility company may offer off peak energy rates which helps with cost savings. Contact your utility company to find out if they offer off peak rates and what times those rates are in effect.
2. Install rain gutters and rain barrels from your roof to use in your garden and to water your lawn. Just fyi, using rainwater eliminates wasteful use of water for outdoor chores.
3. Schedule an energy audit to determine what steps you can take to cut down on energy costs and consumption. Most energy companies and service providers will perform an energy audit on your home at little or no cost.

Ok, just a few little tidbits to get you moving down that green pathway of enlightenment. Enjoy!
