Saving Energy Washing

An easy and efficient way to save energy is washing clothes in cold water. It can save 1600 pounds of CO2 a year per household. It also saves money, you save $0.64 per load, that adds up pretty quickly. My family also dries some of our clothes on a foldable drying rack, which also saves energy.

LED lightbulbs

I did some reasearch and saw . . .

  • 1 LED lightbulb last as long as 40-50 incandescent lightbulbs
  • If you change 25 lightbulbs to LED you save about $6.65 k per 50k hrs of use
  • If my family changed 18 lightbulbs to LED we would lower our carbon footprint by 600 lbs of CO2 a year (that is equal to the emissions given off by 30 gallons of gas)
