Tips from Friday, April 10, 2009

 

The Small Business tips today will cover some green changes that will affect your personal space and save you money!

 

  1. Use ceiling fans to reduce the use of air conditioners.
  2. Insulate hot water heaters and lower the temperature. Insulation reduces the need for the higher maintained temp.
  3. Install air hand dryers in the restrooms. Eliminates the need for paper towels.
  4. Use low-flow toilets and urinals. This uses less water.

 

Daily Overview: Simple changes to the way you regulate water and temperature is good for the environment but also lowers costs!

That's great list. How about adding turning off computers in the nights and weekends. Also cell phone chargers left plugged consumes energy.
