Saving Electricity, Time, and Money in Daily Life

I'm going to start talking more about how you can reduce your carbon footprint in daily life. Whenever I find more ways to reduce, I'll write them in a new post.
  • Obviously, you should always use fluorescent light bulbs. Instead of the regular shape of a light bulb, it is in a twisty shape. It is good for the environment- it lasts MUCH longer for them to die out than incandescent light bulbs. They save you time (much less time spent going to the supermarket to buy bulbs), money (you don't buy bulbs all the time), and, of course, energy, helping the environment.
  • THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT- but use an EZ-PASS if you drive regularly through tollbooths. They save you time (no waiting in lines to pay money), money (though initially you have to buy an EZ-PASS, many tollbooths offer discounts to people with them, and, even of they don't, you save money on gas while not waiting in line), and they save gas itself (no waiting in lines with an idle engine), thus helping the environment.
That's all for now. I'll keep writing!
