We humans are responsible for maintaining healthy condition of our surrounding environment. Yes, we can do a lot if the whole world is bent upon destructing climate balance but we can always do our own bit. This will not help us in saving time and money but will also give us self-satisfaction. All over the world climate is changing for worst. We keep reading about depleted ozone layer and emission issues apart from increasing temperature and rising water level in the sea but we are not doing much to save environment. They say, charity begins at home so why not start something from our own backyard.

One of the basic steps you need to take is to change all the incandescent bulbs in the house with compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). This greatly helps in conserving energy. People might complain about CFLs being expensive but the truth is they use less energy and provide more light. As far as longetivity is concerned these bulbs are more reliable and last up to 8-10 times longer than regular bulbs. Another recommended step is to use clothesline to dry your washed clothes instead of drier. Remember, washing machines take lot of power so try using them only when you have full load of clothes.

The filters of your air conditioners need to be cleaned on a regular basis. This helps in reducing power consumption and also provides efficient room cooling. While heating water, try keeping temperature of the boiler to 60 degree C. This is another power saving tip. Whenever any electrical appliance is not in use turn them off from the main switch instead of using remote. Apply these timely tips and help environment.
