Hi All,

Today we are featuring great hints on how to save energy. Not
only will this save on your pocketbook, but also help the
environment.

Here’s the first…Let’s start using the sun to help warm
the house. Open curtains on south, east, and west-facing
windows during the day, when the light of the sun will help
heat the rooms. Shut them at night to insulate the rooms
from the chilly evening air.

Handy Hints #1:

Check to see if sofas, chairs, or tv stands are in the way
of heating vents or radiators. If you block vents, airflow
is restricted, resulting in higher output from your furnace
or broiler.

Handy Hints #2:

Don’t let the water run continuously while you’re washing
your face or brushing your teeth. Turn off the faucet until
you need to rinse and then use only what you need to use.

You can also buy shower heads that are low-flow and water-
efficient.

Hi All,

Let’s keep it short today….til tomorrow!

Handy Hints Holly

Handy Hint #1
Many nurseries give unsold healthy trees and shrubs away
for free at the end of all seasons. Check your local nursery.

Handy Hint #2

Using a dishwasher actually uses about 35% less water than
washing dishes by hand. And, if you skip the drying cycle
and let the dishes air dry you’ll use about 15% less
electricity. But, always make sure that the dishwasher has
a full load before running it. Although a dishwasher saves
on water, running several half loads per day will end up
wasting more than it saves.
