I'm trying to make a conscious effort to live in a more "green" manner. Lists like this help me out so much. Thank you!!
Happy Thursday!!
Yeah; I use vinegar, baking soda, and borax in the dishwasher...
1 is great advice but many lights use more light starting than they do running so be careful to choose the right bulbs too...
My favourite energy efficient house design is heated by using a single incandescent 100W bulb that runs when the house temperature falls below 18 degrees C. The impressive part is the house is in Alaska.
Great TT :-)
Thanks for sharing these tips. They are all easy things to do but so many don't think of them--including me!
Thanks for visiting my TT
