Ok...this seems simple. But every little bit helps, right? That's why our energy bill for the month of July was a mere $57...yup, that's right. And we DON'T have dual-pane windows or solar-panels (both great...but big investments we can't afford yet). So, want to know some small ways to make a big difference is conserving energy in your home (like we've done)?
When you fill a pot with water to heat up to a boil (for a soup or pasta noodles), put the pot under the faucet and turn only the hot lever to fill (if you only need a little water, it may not have enough time to get hot, but for a stock pot it would), and put a lid on your pot when you put it on the stove to heat. The lid (and already semi-hot water) will cut down the time needed to get to a boil and save energy!
Check in over the next few weeks...we'll have some "small" green ideas to help you save "big" in our next few GIOTWs.
