a short introduction.  today barry h. obama was sworn in as the President of the USA!  congratulations barry, you are in our prayers.

as the usa switches to electric vehicles and because of other demands on the electrical grid that are ever

growing in amount, its clear that we need to construct many more electricity generators and additional support to the grid.

in the meantime, you can do your part to conserve the limited resources and suggestions to achieve this are given below.

many more suggestions can be found at this link ---> CLICK !!!!!!!

Electricity

1.To save as much as hundreds of dollars a year on electricity, make certain that any new
appliances you purchase, especially air conditioners and furnaces, are energy-efficient.
 Information on the energy efficiency of major appliances is found on Energy Guide Labels
 required by federal law.
2.Enrolling in load management programs and off-hour rate programs offered by your electric
utility may save you up to $100 a year in electricity costs. Call your electric utility for
 information about these cost-saving programs.
3.  TURN OFF THINGS YOU ARE NOT USING!  Conservation not only saves money but is good for the environment.
4.  Use lower watt light bulbs when you can but if you really need the light remember a 100 watt light bulb gives more light than two fifty watt light bulbs.
5. Try to use florescent lights where possible.  A 15 watt florescent light produces as much light as a 60 watt incadescent light bulb.
5. Use gas to heat instead of electricity which costs more, the exception probably being a microwave for which one has the convience and safer and more accurate cooking preserving more nutients.
6. Do not let the coffee pot stay on.  Brew your coffee and put some in a thermos and shut off the coffee pot power.  Anything that heats using electricity uses quite a bit of juice.
7. Defrost your refridgerator and clean rear coils regularly and clean your fans to save money on their use.
8. To calculate electric energy cost look on your bill for the cost per kilowatt hour, a unit of energy, call that amount C.  Then say you have an electrical device that uses P watts.  If that number is not listed on the device then know that the voltage in the U.S.A. is usually V=120 volts and the current used is listed say I=0.5 Ampere then P=V*I=120*0.5=60 watts, anyway,
cost to operate the device for N hours = C*T*P/1000  where T is the number of hours you operate the device.  For example say you had a TV that had P=100 watts and it was on for 5 hours a day for 30 days in a month or 150 hours and C=$0.10 per kilowatt hour or ten cents per kilowatt hour then to operate the TV this way for a month would cost you, $=0.10*150*100/1000=$1.50 or a dollar fifty..
9. Tv's and stereos can use energy even when they are turned off it they are using energy to try to detect a remote turnon.  To be sure they are not using any, unplug them between use. Use a small tv or radio most of the time so save energy, turning on the big theater systems only when you really want to pay for the extra quality of entertainment.  A small radio for example to listen to the news uses 5 watts or less while a stereo may use 60 or more watts, a twenty times saving in use energy!
10.  The refridgerator is usually one of the biggest energy users in a home.  Keep it defrosted and clean the back coils frequently.  Do not open it any more than you need to to save additional money.
11. Remember TURN OF THINGS YOU ARE NOT USING! and this goes for computer systems!

Home heating and cooling

1.A home energy audit can identify ways to save up to hundreds of dollars a year on home
heating (and air conditioning). Ask your electric or gas utility if they can do this audit for
free or for a reasonable charge. If they cannot, ask them to refer you to a qualified
professional. Sometimes these people will also provide you with some free insullating materials to help reduce your heating bill.
2.  Unless you are very young, old, or sick, 65 degrees F should be warm enough.  Dress warmly and drink and eat warm things and stay physically active and you won't feel cold.  It may help to put some humidity into the air and stop drafts to feel warmer.  Turn the thermostat even further down at night or when you are away.  Just 5 degrees cooler in the winter with heating and 5 degrees warmer in the summer with air conditioning can save you over $100 a year.
3. The three ways heat travels into and out of your house are radiation, conduction, and convection the last usually carrying the most amount of heat.  Convection, air flow and/or drafts is to be watched.  Keep your air filters clean and prevent drafts to the outside!  To reduce convection, drafts, place a rug or towel at the bottom of outside doors, use weather striping along the sides of doors, caulk outside around window sills, and use some type of storm windows like taping  plastic over windows with traped air inside to insulate.  If you own a home or can get the landlord to, insulate the attic and walls better.
4. Air conditioning in the summer is nice but it is expensive to use.  Use fans when possible instead.  Go somewhere during the hot days that is air conditioned to cool off.  Take a cool/cold shower if hot and wear light colored, loose fitting clothing to stay cool.
5. Although infrequent, some apartments use electricity for heating.  This can be very expensive.  Electric heaters used just for one room can increase your electric bill as much as heating the whole house with gas!
6. In forced air heat make sure there are no obstructions to the air flow at vents and CLEAN air filters to save significantly.
7. Weatherstripping can reduce or eliminate drafts through windows and doors. It doesn't take long to install, increases comfortand reduces costs. Rope caulk provides a temporary seal during the winter months around windows that leak. You can remove this seal in the summer so that you can open and shut the windows. If your windows are very leaky, you can fit a piece of plastic over the window during the winter to form an inexpensive storm window with duct tape. Here are some other possibilities:
Seal and caulk major air leaks around windows, door, electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures and outside architectural features like chimneys.    Shade south and west glass with deciduous plants to keep the heat out during the summer
8. Turn down the thermostat to 50 degrees when you are away in the winter and the air conditioner off then. Consider installing a programmable thermostat to do this automatically and warm or cool your place off a half hour before you get home.

Applying these practices WILL:

Conserve finite resources.

Protect and reduce damage to the environment.

Save Money.

And Please forward this document to others to be of further help. The more people world wide that adopt these prractices will help reduce the demand for Earth's finite resources thus keeping costs lower to all people and also polluting the environment less.

Gasoline

1.You can save hundreds of dollars a year by comparing prices at different stations, pumping
gas yourself, and using the lowest-octane called for in your owner's manual.
2.You can save up to $100 a year on gas by keeping your engine tuned and your tires inflated
to their proper pressure.
3.  Plan your trips to accomplish more things on fewer outings.  When a car first starts up when cold most wear on the engine takes place.  If you make several stops on a route when the car engine stays warm you save a lot over making back and forth trips to each one.
4.  Accelerate slowly and remember the best gas milage on a car occurs around 35 mph.  Look ahead and coast to stops, the brakes just produce heat, wearing themselfs out and using up the mechanical energy supplied by the fuel often needlessly.
5.  To make your engine last a long time change the oil on a regular basis and maintain proper levels.  DO NOT overfill the oil though!

6. Each gallon of gasoline saved also saves about 20 gallons of water used in refining, energy sources used to get, transfer and refine the "crude" oil and reduces evironmental damage. And lessening demand usually reduces price and "foreign" dependence!

Miscellaneous

1. In the spring, summer and fall if you have a backyard use a clothes line to dry your clothes.  Free solar heat and fresh air will dry your clothes and have them smelling fresh.  The only drawback is the sun may fade certain colored materials.  It not only will save you money but is good for the environment.
2. Gas dryers are more economical than electric dryers.  Save electricity for high quality uses such as computers, tvs, stereos and lighting.  Use other forms of energy such as gas to produce heat with the exception of microwaves which cook food more convieniently and nutritionally.
3. Fix all water leaks quickly.  Water is more and more expensive and needed by all and should not be wasted.  A small leak can cost $100's in a year.
4. Use water saving toilets or see if old toilets will still work with a brick in the tank to save water.
5.  Anything you do to conserve energy reduces its demand which will reduce its price.

=== 6. Think often about less earth stressful ways to accomplish the same things you want to do!  For example, take the bus more often, car pool, ride a bike, walk part way, produce less trash by buying things in less packaging and recycle what you can.

Purchansing Efficient Major Appliances

1.Consult Consumer Reports, available in most public libraries, for information about specific
brands and how to evaluate them, including energy use. There are often great price and
quality differences among brands.
2.Once you've selected a brand, check the phone book to learn what stores carry this brand,
then call at least four of these stores for the prices of specific models. After each store has
given you a quote, ask if that's the lowest price they can offer you. This comparison
shopping can save you as much as $100 or more.

Water

1. Water your lawn only when it needs it. And actually it never does.  The grass will not die even if it does turn brown.  Why should a green lawn be thought of as being so much better than a brown one? Incidentally there's no reason to "treat" the lawn either.  Much of the lawn fertilizer, pesticides and weed killers get washed into our waterways really polluting the environment! At least step on your grass. If  it springs back, when you lift your foot it doesn't need water. So set your sprinklers for more days in between watering. Saves  750-1,500 gallons per month. Better yet, especially in times of drought, water with a hose.
2. Fix leaky faucets and plumbing joints. Saves about 20 gallons per  day for every leak stopped.
3. Don't run the hose while washing your car. Use a bucket of  water and a quick hose rinse at the end. Saves 150 gallons  each time. For a two-car family that's up to 1,200 gallons a  month.
4. Install water-saving shower heads or flow restrictors. Saves 500 to 800 gallons per month.
5. Run only full loads in the washing machine and dishwasher. Saves 300 to 800 gallons per month.  Use a front loading washer to save a lot more.
 6. Shorten your showers. Stop the water flow when your are "soaping up." Even a one or two minute reduction can save up to 700 gallons per month.
 7. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways and sidewalks. Saves 150 gallons or more each time. At once a  week, that's more than 600 gallons a month.
 8. Don't use your toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket. Saves 400 to 600 gallons per month.
9. Capture tap water. While you wait for hot water to come down the pipes, catch the flow in a watering can to use  later on house plants or your garden. Saves 200 to 300 gallons per month.
10. Don't water the sidewalks, driveway or gutter. Adjust your sprinklers so that water lands on your lawn or garden where it belongs--and only there. Saves 500 gallons per month.
11. Every gallon of gasoline takes roughly 20 gallons of water and energy to produce which is then polluted and needs to be then cleaned up using energy also.  So by reducing gasoline use there are additonal savings to the enviornment and cost. For example, a moped getting 100 mpg uses nine gallons less gasoline than a SUV getting 10 mpg on a 100 mile trip AND thus pollutes 180 gallons less water that would be used to refine the gasoline for the SUV. Better yet even! Walk and/or bike at least sometimes!!!!!!!
