House Vampires
By Wendy Mundy
HI everyone. Well I finally saw the reason why I need to rid my house of vampires. We all have them, lerking in the dark with glowing red eyes. They suck our pocket-books, they drain the enviroment and little is being done about it. True there are some who are trying to get large companies to change there ways by redesigning products and there a products that people can use to help stem the flow but these tools (iespecial powerbars)can be pricey and you can do without them. Still wonderign what I'm rattling on about? Well it's our T.V's, DVD's,Microwaves etc. All of these things draw power even when not in use -Stand-by- is what it's called. Your standard Microwave cost close to 60 + dollars a year to run, a lot more then the fridge cost- pretty expensive clock No? For the past year I have un-pluged my microwave and turned off all of the 'Stand-by' appliances I could every night to see if it really did make a difference.....The other day I went to my Hydro Quebec site and took a look at my yearly consumption compared to last years( they make it very easy...nice bar graphs) and you bet there is a difference...not huge, but noticable. I really think this is one easy step that most people can take so they can save some money and help the enviroment too. Love to hear your thoughts on this. For more info stop by my blog at http://www.bluemundy.com. I will get some links up that give more info about Hydro Vampires.
Night all.
p.s. after making coffee we always turn it off and put the coffee in a caraffe to keep it warm. save money and the coffee maker lasts a lot longer...ours is going on 5 years now and it's not a expensive one either. |
