Home tips:
-Be considerate of natural resources while saving money at the same time. Correctly dispose CFL's through EPA, US Environmental Protection Agency. There is a small amount of mercury contained in those bulbs and the EPA has a simple way to deal with it should the bulbs break. Visit www.epa.gov/epahome/learn.htm to find out where you can dispose your CFL's.
-If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an Energy Star qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.
-You can save money with Zone heating, which involves the simple opening and closing of vents in the rooms that are being used. Plus use a new quartz space heater, which are not dangerous, work better than some of the older space heaters that we all might be familiar with.
