Going green during recession

January 25th, 2008 Alex

The stock market recently has been such a roller coaster ride as recession fears are all over the place. There most likely will not be a big scale recession but there may be a minor one until election rolls around. There is no better time to become green than during a recession! Trying to save money is always a good thing but especially good when the economy is not doing so well. Changing out those light bulbs and consciously saving electricity can make a difference to your electricity bill. When you leave the house, you can also remember to turn off the heater or leave it at a lower temperature. Turning off your monitor instead of having it go to screensaver and having your computer go to sleep instead of leaving it on is another good suggestion for saving electricity. The Edison Electric Institute has some good tips on saving electricity in your home. It has tips for the kitchen, laundry, water heating, lighting, insulation, heating, air conditioning, and outside your home.
