Where to Start Saving Money and the World

Leverage is how to move something that seems impossible to move.
The same is true about saving the world.
One person doesn't have a lot of leverage but if that same person tells his/her friends to help and tell all of there friends so on and so on that's leverage.
These Steps will save the world, with the help of you and the people you share them with.
These steps seem small but they will have a large impact.
Your kitchen hides a power hungry appliance the refrigerator is a energy hog! Everybody needs a refrigerator but we can keep them from running nonstop.
The more food in the refrigerator the less it will run.
Don't have enough food that's OK, use milk jugs filled with water in to keep it cooler.
Like an ice pack in a cooler.
This works with freezers too.
The best part is the water doubles as emergency water supply! When getting items from the fridge think about what your getting, then open the door and close it as fast as you can to keep the heat out as much as possible.
Unplug your electronics.
Most if not all electronics use electricity even when they are turned off.
They go to sleep mode or low power mode.
Even phone chargers when not being used unplug them.
Power Strips have one touch buttons to disconnect the power, or you can install a plugin that will cut the power with a remote.
The power adds up the more electronics you use.
Do you leave the tv on while your online just for noise? Radios make noise without using electricity to produce a picture that your not even watching.
Televisions are on long hours and use a lot of electricity.
They grow couch potatoes.
Seriously though if your not watching turn it off.
Think water how much goes down your drain while your brushing your teeth, shaving, washing dishes by hand? Install water saver restrictors on all of your faucets.
Turn the water off when not actually using it.
Try turning the faucet on only halfway often that's is more than enough to get the job done.
Shower heads try to get one that uses less that two gpm (gallons per minute).
Saving water at home does more than just cut your bill, the processing of your water uses electricity and chemicals that are not great for the planet.
These are powerful for one person imagine if all three hundred thirty million people in U.
S.
or seven billion in the world applied just one of them.
