So I am kind of a freak when it comes to saving energy, specially when I've lived in a house with 5 other students that do not have the same mentality as I do about the issue! And of course, I do anything I can to save money, being a broke college student and all. Soo, I found a website that gives some simple ideas for you to do, that will save energy... if you are trying to move towards a more environmental friendly mindset as well. Take a look through them and you'll be amazed with some of the tips. There are things you never thought you could do, that will benefit you and your next energy bill!

About Me
- Elly@Elly Dreams Green
- I am a Junior at the University of Minnesota Duluth. I love love LOVE the crisp smell that Fall brings, but also need the vitamin D that summer brings. I thoroughly enjoy photography and watching movies. To anyone that likes the outdoors, I'm sure we will get along quite well-- I dig fresh air :) I have a cat named Kozmo, who is quite crazy, and If it were more convenient at this time in my life, i'd have a dog as well. As you might conclude, I am an animal junky.
What a great thing to share Elly! I love it. It is so hard to be conservative while in college and having roommates because you all have different ideas. The easiest thing I can think to save energy is unplug appliances and shutting off lights when you are not in the room. My roommates also do not have the same mentality as I do and it can be frustrating. Thanks for sharing this, I will definitely be trying a few things.
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome source of information. Not only does it give fabulous ideas of how to save electricity and save the environment, but the ideas are simple enough that I will try these and hopefully save me some money!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I notice that these are common things that we can easily forgot to do. I think one thing to also add is putting reminders where we will see them. That way we can see it it and do it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the share, I will probably use this again for future references!
ReplyDeleteI really liked this post. I think that we all should think about this kind of thing, no matter how much our bill is a month, there's no sense in wasting energy that your paying for if your not using it. I'm going to try some of these out ASAP!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the website and tips! I'm not going to be able to keep paying this utilities bill much longer, I need all the suggestions i can get, lol.
