3 Easy Steps To Make Your Home ‘Green’
and Save $
Step #1: Change
the light bulbs. Replacing one light bulb with a compact
fluorescent or LED bulb can save almost $50 over its lifetime. Shop for environmental products at: www.greenhome.com.
Step #2:
Replace bathroom faucets. Water-efficient products can save an average
family 500 gallons of water each year.
Faucets account for about 15% of a family’s water consumption. Learn more at: www.epa.gov/watersense.
Step #3:
Recycle gray water. An average bath uses 30 to 50 gallons of
water and it flows into the same sewer system as when you flush the
toilet. A better use of this “gray
water” from showers, tubs, and washing machines is to water the landscape. It conserves water, lowers the load on sewer
systems, and saves money. For info, go
