America has only five percent of the world’s population and uses twenty-five percent of the world’s energy. We are constantly consuming resources faster than the earth can replenish, causing massive amounts of pollution, and creating the need for more and more landfill space. A little bit goes a long way in helping solve the problem. So why not be a part of the solution by joining the green evolution! The following is a list of ways you can reduce your home energy consumption:
Problem: Light use is accountable for about 20 percent of all energy consumed in the US.
Solution: Trade your standard incandescent bulbs for compact fluorescent bulbs. They are more energy-efficient, last for years instead of months, consume little power and generate little heat. Also, if you’re renovating your house, place your windows in such a way that natural light is allowed to enter so that you wouldn’t need to use manmade light during the day. Furthermore, if you don’t want to buy new light bulbs, simply turn the lights off when leaving the room.
Problem: A dishwasher uses 80 percent of its energy for heating water; a washing machine, about 90 percent.
Solution: upgrade to energy star certified products. Also, only run the dishwasher or washing machine when it’s full. Also try using short cycles for all but the dirtiest dishes and air dry them. You may also want to consider a front-loading washing machine since they use 50 percent less energy and one-third less water. Plus, they remove far more water in the rinse cycle, and that translates into big savings in dryer time.
Problem: All the refrigerators in the United States use more than half of all the power generated by nuclear power plants.
Solution: Energy Star refrigerators cut down on energy use, and cuts costs by one-third to two-thirds, depending on the age of the original machine. If you can’t afford to buy a new one, set your refrigerator temperature at 38 to 42 degrees Fahrenheit; your freezer should be set between 0 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit. You may use the power-save switch if your fridge has one, and make sure the door seals tightly. (By the way, you can check this by making sure that a dollar bill closed in between the door gaskets is difficult to pull out. If it slides easily between the gaskets, replace them.)
Problem: Leaving chargers plugged in still draws energy.
Solution: Unplug your chargers when not in use or when appliances are fully charged.

One can also switch to the BLDC Fans, like they really consume around 50-65% less energy than the traditional or the normal fans we use at home. Reduction of 50% of energy consumption per households in just fans is a great way to start to conserve energy at home.

We need to work on this to tackle the crisis.
Great article. will definitely share this. Energy has to be saved. we must learn and spread the message.
Amazing read. We all should be concerned about saving energy, or at least practise some good exercises that tend to conserve energy for us.
Yeah truly as the resources are depleting we need to take care of them and electricity is being misused I believe everyone should follow steps to save electricity. Thanks for Sharing
Zommerce
This article is very knowledgeable and needs greater social shares so that all of we are aware of the facts
Thanks for sharing such valuable information. I wasn’t aware that leaving the charger plugged in still draws the energy.
Energy saving is today’s need. Thank you for sharing best info on utilising and saving them.
Energy needs to be conserved. Thanks for the post it was very helpful. Keep writing Patricia Beaumont !
First off, this is excellent piece of information and discussion to have.
Overall, I feel saving electricity is becoming a matter of concern of all of us. Having said that, there are people who goes the right way. However, in this, government needs to accomplish certain plans regarding the electronic appliances and limit electricity.
Cheers,

thanks for this your information
Thanks for publishing amazing article.
It is a very important point that we need to grasp, thanks for sharing this.
Also, because they consume 50 percent lower energy and 1/3 less water, you could consider an in-face washing machine.
The theme makes the first impression on the user and your site does that well. And content is also to good.
Energy conservation is the need of the hour. The first oil shock of 1973 shook up the industrialized nations of the world and awakened them from the sleepy

Thank you for the valuable tips to save electricity. These small things can also save electricity.
Thanks for sharing this informative post. An eye-opener actually!
I presume that you meant saving energy and not power! Energy can be saved mainly by avoiding wastage.
Yes, good point!
You may also want to consider a front-loading washing machine since they use 50 percent less energy and one-third less water.
Germany got a blueprint on how to do it!
Solar Pv if the future technology and we should work on it to produce energy.
You have provided such a great and informative article here! I read your instruction very carefully and I will use them ASAP. Thank you so much to share it.
Thanks for sharing this amazing post.
The Best way to save energy, in my opinion, is to use electrical products as less as possible or when we need them the most.
The government also have to take the Energy crisis seriously and make some law over its proper usage.
Anyways, thanks for talking about such a severe issue.

Energy conservation is the need of today
I presume that you meant saving energy and not power! Energy can be saved mainly by avoiding wastage.
For example, an incandescent lamp converts less than twenty percent of the energy into visible light. The rest of the energy is dissipated as heat. This can be achieved by changing to a more efficient type of lamp such as led, Wastage of energy can be reduced by switching off appliances when not in use.
“Unplug your chargers when not in use or when appliances are fully charged.” I never gave attention to this. Thank you for such an awesome insights on saving energy for the future. It’s high time we start paying attention to small things which can collectively create big impact to save the world.
This is very important thing but nobody care about it, only few people care about it and thinking about it.
We are wasting energy And not giving a damn this will Lead to many problems in Future,
We young generation have to come up with new Ideas to solve this major concern for the whole world and coming generation.
Energy saving is very important because when you conserve energy you also save on the cost of living.
It is really horrific crisis now. We need to take preventive measures.
This is one of the major problem of humans, only we can save ourselves.
The problems associated with world oil production peaking will not be temporary, and past ‘energy crisis’ experience will provide relatively little guidance
We young generation have to come up with new Ideas to solve this major concern for the whole world and coming generation
there is a necessity that we can use products which are energy saver..Save energy and water also.
That’s very important point but people don’t aware about this
American must need to learn how to use energy, as they are using it like they are most populated country in the world.
You may also want to consider a front-loading washing machine since they use 50 percent less energy and one-third less water.
Front Loader washing machines are better energy saving options.

Front Loader washing machine are more energy saver.
The most convenient method of saving electricity is fit Toronto Windows and Doors as if the windows are nicely installed you can get better light and then there is less need of light during day time and automatically we can save a lot.
