As we saw with the post of the 3R's it is not enough seeking renewable energy resources we must also consume energy profitably.
Whenever you save energy, you not only save money, you also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal, oil, and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary contributor to global warming, and other pollutants.
Home improvements:
Consider some of these energy-saving investments. They save money in the long run, and their CO2 savings can often be measured in tons per year.
-Use whenever possible sources of renewable energy for energy supplies.
-Insulate your walls and ceilings. This can save 20 to 30 percent of home heating bills and reduce CO2 emissions by 140 to 2100 pounds per year.
-Limit the use of equipment requiring high energy consumption, such as ovens, microwave, coffee machines, drying machines, heating oil, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners and hair dryers.
-Buy equipment with more efficient energy consumption, such as refrigerators and freezers.
-Use outdoor equipment for heating water, for example: solar systems
-Use natural light and lamps with lower power consumption (fluorescent).
-Keep in mind that many household appliances consume energy when not off, that is, when they are in "stand-by."
