We all know we are supposed to change our air filters every 90 days. And yes, we have all been guilty of not changing them when we are supposed to.
By doing this we are simply costing ourselves more money each month. Some experts suggest changing filter change frequency to every 4-6 weeks. This makes sense when you run the numbers.
Did you know Americans spend from $1 to $4 per gallon by purchasing water in the bottle?
Unfortunately, the price is not the worst part. Those high prices are due in large part to the packaging of that water. In fact, the plastic bottle, lid and the label make up 90% of that per gallon price.
In comparison, we can get the same pure water at home for much less. In fact, it is estimated that even considering the cost of water filtration we can get the same quality water (or better) by using refillable bottles at a cost of .10 per gallon.
There is absolutely nothing like taking a shower.
Whether you take one in the morning or after a long hard day it is just to easy to stay there for a little longer than you need to.
However, that few extra minutes can cost more than just a few extra dollars on the bill. In fact, by trimming just 2 to 3 minutes off your time in the shower you can save a staggering 150 gallons of water per month.
We have all heard the story, change your light bulbs out for new CFLs or Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs and we can all save the planet. Well, as it turns out that there is a whole lot of data out there to support this recommendation. If every household in the the US were to change out their 5 most used lights in the home with CFL bulbs or their equivalent we could save an estimated 8 Billion in energy savings annually.
