Energy Saving Ideas

Yesterday, I spoke about being frugal. Today here are  a few easy things you can do:

> Instead of  using wrapping paper, try using something recyclable, such as a kitchen tea towel, a pretty pillowcase, a linen napkin or tinfoil. You can also use pieces of wallpaper or the colorful comic section of the Sunday paper.

> By a refrigerator with reduced chlorofluoro-carbon (CFC) in its foam insulation.

> Organize your refrigerator so the air circulates over, under and around food.

> Use a microwave whenever possible. They use less energy than conventional ovens.

>  Car pool or use public transportation. You’ll help cut down on gas consumption, noise and  air pollution.
