As some one who has no doubt noticed a significant increase in utility bills each month, I'm sure you're very interested in energy conservation.
Don't wait until you get your next utility bill before you do something to conserve energy, do it now.
Even though energy costs have stabilized somewhat over the last several months and aren't rising nearly as quickly as they were a year ago, they are never going to go down again, at least not all the way back down.
And of course we all know that being more careful about the amount, and type, of energy we use can make a substantial positive impact on the environment.
When people think about conserving energy they almost always think about the money they can save. Just changing a few light bulbs and turning your thermostat down a few degrees won't make a huge difference, but it is a good start.
Combine those simple things with other conservation efforts and before you know it, you're saving yourself thousands of dollars a year in energy costs.
To make a bigger dent in your utility bill consider replacing, or at least repairing, energy leaking, old windows and doors.
With some caulk, weather stripping, and a window insulation kit, you can make your house much 'tighter' and more energy efficient.
You can even take it up a notch by producing your own electricity, thanks to advances in technology this is now a viable option.
One of the best ways to generate electricity for your home, for most people, is to install a wind turbine and use wind power. You can build it yourself, easily, and for just a few hundred dollars.
The savings can be up to 80% off of your utility bills.
It's time we all started thinking about energy conservation. It can save us a lot of money and keep our planet beautiful and green.
