These five steps are very easy, any person can do them.

Step 1.

If every household in the United States replaces just 1 of light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulb; it would be equivalent to removing 7 million automobile off the road every year. Compact fluorescent bulbs replace just 1 frequently used light bulb with compact fluorescent bulb. Save 100 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $20 per year. Compact Fluorescent Bulbs have life expectancy of 5 to 7 years costs between 5 to 10 dollars each.

Step 2.

If every household in the United States replaces their hot water tank with tank-less water heater the United States would save every year:

o 290 million gallons of fuel oil

o 164 million gallons of propane

o 6 billion hours of kilowatt electricity

What is tank-less water heater? Tank-less water heaters, also called Instantaneous or Demand water heaters, provide hot water only as required. Tank-less water heaters provide hot water at a rate of 2 to 5 gallons per minute and cost from $100 to $900 dollars per unit savings 19% to 34 % energy. Further you can attain even greater energy savings of 27% to 50% if you install tank-less water heater at all hot water outlets; kitchen sinks, dishwashers, bathrooms, washing machines etc.

Step 3.

Step is very easy keep tires on your car, van or truck adequately inflated; check your vehicle monthly. You will save 250 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year and $420 per year.

Step 4.

Change Vehicle, Air Condition or Furnace Air Filter; check your vehicle, air condition or furnace air filter monthly; this will save 1750 lbs of carbon dioxide and $590.

Step 5.

Do not ever leave appliances on standby use only the "on/off" function located on the machine .

A computer, TV or dishwasher that's is switched on for 2 hours a day and in standby mode during the remaining 22 hours uses 40% more energy in its standby mode; this will save 367 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $165.
