Lets Go Green… For Real

It’s time for a cut down in costs, which means we need to do something about it a little bit at a time. Yes, there is a way to do this. In America, prices on oil are very high and so are the prices of many other common items.

We need to cut the demand for things to make the supply cost go down. The world is using lots of resources and that is increasing quickly.

So first of all, let’s make our computers green. A way to do this is to adjust your system settings to use less power when you are away from your computer. Edison (http://www.verdiem.com/edison/) is a great program that will adjust your settings according to your work setting and what you are doing. I recently installed this on my computers to cut down on some costs here at home. It will even estimate how much money you are saving annually on that computer.

Second, shut of the lights when you aren’t in the room. It’s not like there’s anyone in the room, so when you are going out, just remember to flip the light switch. Its simple and it could save you some money. You should also do this on any other device you aren’t using, including your T.V., your stereo, or your DVD player. Its just simple.

Third, lets use less gasoline in our cars. On a green light after a stop, don’t accelerate too fast…. It burns up a lot of gasoline that you don’t need to lose… unless you are street racing (and I’m not talking about the wannabees). If your car gets less than 15 miles to the gallon, you should probably buy a different car with better gas mileage. Your car will pay for itself after a few months of use after you buy a new one because of the high gas prices.

Fourth, turn up the temperature in your house and keep your A/C off. Open the windows and get some air in your house, but keep your A/C off, or at least keep it a little warmer than normal to keep your A/C off. You aren’t going to die because your house is 10 degrees warmer than usual. This will dramatically cut costs.

This stuff is so very simple and can do quite a bit of good for you and the rest of the world. So let’s go green… for real.
