Switch To Digital

posted September 22nd, 2012 at 5:48 am

Today I’m going to talk to you about how you can help save our forests and the environment by switching from printed newspapers, magazines and books to their digital versions.

It’s a known fact that the production of printed material requires a significant amount of energy, water and paper in order to end up with a useable product.

With the popularity of tablets and eBook readers we now have a greener choice. Digital book readers can be used over and over and over again and they don’t use that much electricity. In fact eBook readers, last as long as one full month on a single charge!

Almost all major newspapers and magazines are available electronically. Many are predicting that eBooks will eventually replace traditional paper books all together in the near future. And in terms of convenience eBooks can’t be beat. You can quickly and easily download them and you can carry hundreds of titles with you wherever you go. Now whenever you read you can feel happy that you are contributing to a greener earth.

That’s all for today. Thanks for watching.
We’ll see you again next time.

Energy Saving Tip Of The Month See All Tips

Use Elbow Grease Instead of Power!

posted October 4th 2010 at 5:00PM

Don’t forget that people managed to get their dishes clean for millenia before there were electric dishwashers! If you can spare the time, try doing them by hand. If you make a habit of cleaning your dishes as you use them, you’ll find that the task isn’t so intimidating. Even doing dishes by hand several times daily will use less water than running the dishwasher once… and it won’t use any power!

Q: Is My Property A Good Candidate For Renewable Energy?

posted September 14th 2010 at 1:21AM

A:

The results you see, and the energy-saving benefits you will enjoy, will both be a direct function of the size and quality of the system you build, as well as all the characteristics of your home (insulation, southern exposure, materials). But you should know that your total energy output will also be impacted by the solar and wind resources in your specific area and neighborhood – It will depend where you are and what surrounds you (hills, valleys, buildings, etc).

It would be best if you consult the Dept of Energy’s website and pay particular attention to the solar and wind resource maps. Often this information is also available at your municipality’s city hall, which would also be the most relevant source for any legal questions and inquiries related to available rebates.

To get more specific than the answers you would find there can get very difficult for us as a centralized provider of renewable energy how-to information. Even if we know what city you live in, we don’t know exactly where you are, and we don’t know what surrounds your property. Naturally, specific questions about the results customers will see are impossible for us to answer. Your circumstances, like those of all of our customers, can’t be assessed without being there.
