10 Efficient Ways To Save Energy

Hello everyone. Upupin here.

Today I would like to inform you on ways you can save energy. Here are 10 good ways to save energy and money. (Remember, saving energy means saving money)

  1. Raking the leaves- Rake leaves instead of blowing them off with gas/electric powered leaf blowers.
  2. Use a manual can opener- Using a manual can opener can save a small amount of energy but can build up to a great amount.
  3. Unplug electronics not in use- Some electronics draw energy even when they are turned off.
  4. Only wash the dishes when the dish washer is full- It seems to me it is a waste to just wash half the dishes. Wait until it is completely full.
  5. Use CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs)- CFLs last a lot longer than other light bulbs. This will eventually save you an immense amount of money.
  6. Carpool- Ride with friends instead of riding by yourself. It will save 2x the amount of gas. (Gas in non-renewable. We need to conserve as much as we can)
  7. Turn off the lights when not in use- There is no need in wasting energy on lights we're not even using.
  8. Start a Green Group- A Green Group is a group that helps with the environment and plans ways to help the planet.
  9. Turn off the water when brushing your teeth- That's a lot of water being wasted.
  10. Take showers, not baths- Taking showers saves a ton of water than taking a bath. Make sure you don't take too long of showers.


There you have it. 10 efficient ways you can make a difference. Another good way to make a difference is to tell everyone about The Green Base. It's as simple as that.
