Going Green, Saving Money
April 30, 2012
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
-Leo Buscaglia
Some savings are long term: "If existing structural conditions — poor ventilation, mold, furniture that release airborne chemicals, and so on — compromise the health of young children, there may be higher initial capital costs that eventually lead to lower health care expenses and operational costs."
Some savings may be more immediate:
- A one degree decrease in thermostat setting during the winter will result in a 5 percent savings in heating costs;
- Use of Energy Star products can result in utility-bill cost savings of several hundred dollars per year;
- Replacing one standard toilet with a 1.6 gallon low-flow toilet can save an average family over 160,000 gallons of water per year;
- An inefficient sprinkler system can waste tens, even hundreds, of thousands of gallons of water per year on an average American lawn.
