Save Your Pocket, And Maybe Even the Planet

In the spirit of Earth Day and living consciously, the best that you can do in your free time is to save your pocket, and maybe even the planet too. I'm very sure you've heard it before, but some of you probably just can't walk the walk to change your light bulbs until you felt the pinch in this global financial crisis.

Did you know that you can save up to 30 percent of your energy cost when you use compact fluorescent bulbs than incandescent ones, and another 20 percent if you unplug all unused appliances in the house? Imagine cutting your electric bill by 50 percent from now on. Let's admit it; everybody can use the savings, big or small, wherever they can get it.

In your free time, march towards your nearest hardware store to invest on new fluorescent bulbs now. And, make it every person in your house business to unplug everything that gobbles up power. Do it for the first month and see the difference.

Now you know what to do after using that computer.

For more information on how you can get into the Earth Day spirit, go to Energystar.gov, BAN.org, and Wecansolveit.org. Together we can do it, but you and you alone can save your pocket. Make the right decision now.
