Saving money and the environment is a win-win situation for everybody. And it’s easy, too. From recycling trash to reducing consumption to reusing items, there are countless ways to live a more responsible, economical life.
Although there are a lot of ways to keep it green, below we have provided you with a list of our favorites!
(1) Turn off power strips when they’re not in use.
(2) Shop for Energy Star products including computers, printers, phones, and televisions.
(3) Keep your tires inflated and aligned and you will increase your gas mileage.
(4) Unplug your phone charger when it’s not in use.
(5) Run your dishwasher only when it has a full load.
(6) When it’s time to change the light bulbs in our apartments in Lady Lake, Florida, use compact florescent bulbs instead of standard incandescent bulbs.
(7) Turn the lights off when you leave a room.
(8) Take shorter showers.
(9) Keep your speed down while driving and take it easy when accelerating; this will increase your gas mileage.
(10) Unplug your toaster and other small appliances when you aren’t using them.
We challenge all of our residents to think green! See what you can change about your daily routine to preserve our environment, save money on your utility bills, and get the most out of every item you use.
