Introduction:
The living green concept emphasizes on saving all the natural resources to secure better future, especially electricity.
Although idea of saving electricity is not new, there are countless ways of saving electricity that go beyond simply purchasing energy efficient appliances like refrigerators, washer and dryers. Every one is aware of the common methods but let us consider some more ways that would help in saving electricity and hence living .
The basics starts with using a good local light near the task, it is more effective and more efficient than a large central light. Moreover try to use fluorescent tubes, as they use about a quarter of electricity, as used by ordinary globes and they even last about eight times longer. They can be switched on and off as often as you need without affecting the operating cost as well. These common suggestions are highly effective in saving electricity and living green.
How to reduce your electricity bill
Due to lack of electricity generation capacity, power tariffs and your electricity bill will only increase, if you do try to reduce wastage of electricity. Most of the electricity is generated from coal, which is a fossil fuel and causes atmospheric pollution. A few small changes will help you reduce your monthly electricity bill.
1. Switch off all electrical devices when they are not in use. Make it a habit to switch off the fan and tube light when you leave a room.
2. Replace all bulbs with CFL lamps which consume less electricity.
3. Watch less TV. Spend the time exercising or take a walk. It is also better for your health.
4. Instead of using a geyser try to install a solar water heater. Your electricity consumption will reduce and you may get discounts on your electricity bill and property tax bill.
5. Switch off your computer when not in use. A CRT monitor account for more than 60% of the total energy consumption of the computer. If a screensaver is installed, electricity is consumed even when you are working on the computer. An LCD monitor consumes less power than a CRT monitor.
6. Select home appliances carefully. The electricity consumption of a frost free refrigerator is almost 50% more than that of a non-frost free refrigerator. Do not open the refrigerator door often, since this will increase the cooling requirement and electricity consumption. Set the temperature setting knob in the refrigerator at medium.
