Here's what we're doing:<BR/>We installed an inexpensive solar cover over our pool, which saves a lot of water from evaporation and extends the time we can swim in the pool.<BR/>In summertime, we use electric fans at night instead of the AC. When we're at work, we set the AC to 82 degrees. This saves us about $200 per month in summer electric bills.<BR/>In wintertime, we shut off the heater before going to bed and just use lots of blankets! savings: $100/mo in gas bills.<BR/>We use cold water in our laundry, except for whites.<BR/>This summer, we will line dry our laundry.<BR/>Our vehicles are not very fuel efficient though (13 mpg for the SUV and 18 mpg for the cars) so we have to do something about that!<BR/>We recycle aluminum cans, plastic bottles and newspapers.<BR/>We reuse plastic bags.<BR/>Hope this helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19558528.post-38326034351963102732007-04-22T00:51:00.000-07:002007-04-22T00:51:00.000-07:00Great Job Paolo... amazing what little changes can make a big difference in the world...Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13941816911723376337noreply@blogger.com
