Doing a little can go a long way

In this week's reading of the green guide it was telling us and giving all sorts of hints and ideas on how to make our ecological footprint better. The first thing of topic was talking about homes being a practical size house for our needs rather than having a giant house when there is only two people living in it, some easy tips that where given to help save us money and out environment is to shut of the lights when we leave the room, but to also change out lights to cfls or halogen lights which might cost a little more but in the long run, but last longer and use less energy which will make you money to spend a little extra money. all throughout the chapter it breaks your house down into different sections on how you insulating your house better and fixing the drafty area's in your home is'nt a hard thing to fix and will cut your fuel bill down a good chunk, or also being aware of the phantom power that your appliances even if they are shut off still draw and suck power, or when you leave your house fro work you can turn down your thermastat beacuse why does it have to stay warm when no one is there. The chapter does a great job providing you with ideas and tips how to cut costs and use less of things that in reality gives us more, it also makes you more aware on how simple practical changes do make a defference. This chapter is good at explaing different things because i think many people are nieve and dont really realize all the simple little things that you can do, does make a difference even if it is changing your lightbulb.
