People who are willing to spend just a few dollars toward the effort of saving energy can find that small investments toward “greening” your life can also go a long way in putting more green back into your wallet. Here’s how:
At home or at work, (or both if you’re ambitious) cut the amount of paper and ink that is wasted on printed pages that hardly have anything on them. The site www.printgreener.com offers a program that will help PC users print without images, and consolidate pages. There’s a free 14-day trial download, and if you like it, a $29 investment boasts a savings of up to $100 per year in paper and ink.
For those of you without programmable thermostats, Walmart sells programmable register vents that can help shave heating and cooling costs by cutting off airflow to areas of your home or apartment based on a timer you control. They run on two AAA batteries, and will cost under $20 each.
