Reducing my carbon footprint
By Matt Esperti
Cold showers
• Taking a cold shower uses less energy
which in the end uses less fossil fuels.
• Cold showers are better for your skin the
don’t dry up your skin like a warm shower
does.
Turning the lights off
• Use fluorescent lights to save energy
• Fluorescent lights last longer and use less
energy
• Turning off lights can cool down rooms
case some light bulbs release heat
• Energy would be saved on not using your
air conditioner and not consuming energy
for lights.
Unplugging phone chargers
• Phone chargers and other appliances
keep taking energy even when not in use.
• Unplugging these devices will cut down on
electrical cost and usage.
Turning off your tv
• TVs draw a lot of power so to save on your
bills turn them off when not in use or use a
timer so it will eventually turn off.
