Try these money savers for greening your home.
1. Fix faucet leaks — A leaky faucet that drips at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons a year.
2. Seal drafty windows and doors — A home can lose about 50 percent of its heat or cool air through drafty windows and doors.
3. Avoid running water — Turn off water while you brush your teeth.
4. Say no to plastic — According to data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2001, about 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide annually, and it can take months to hundreds of years for these bags to break down. Bring your own reusable bags to the grocery store.
5. Use energy-efficient appliances — The average household can save up to $400 annually by using energy-efficient appliances.
6. Replace light bulbs — One fluorescent bulb can save approximately $30 over its lifetime and pay for itself in six months.
7. Start a compost pile — According to the EPA, 23 percent of U.S. waste materials sent to landfills, such as yard trimmings and leftover food, could be used as compost.
