Celebrate Earth Day with all that’s new, fresh and green, from organic food to skin care, cleaning, clothing and everything in between. Now organic, natural and ethnic co’s can display their best wares at one trade show.
Take one hour of your time to locate your current recycling capabilities and make improvements where needed.
Make sure your ceilings and walls are properly insulated. To learn more about insulating your home visit www.eere.energy.gov and www.ornl.gov.
If the hot and cold water outlet and inlet run vertically up from the water tank, convection causes heat. Anti-convection valves can be installed.
Water heater insulating kits can be purchased at hardware stores and some electric utilities will install them at no extra charge.
When purchasing new windows and doors, make sure they have the ENERGY STAR label.
If your windows are well-insulated, open the curtains on sunny days in the winter months and close them at night to keep the heat in.
Reduce heat loss with older water heaters by wrapping it with additional insulation via a water heater insulating kit.
If your water heater was purchased prior to 1984, it’s likely that the thermostat is set too high. It should be set to 120º.
