* Switch to CFL’s. A regular 100watt incandescent light bulb has a life of 700 hours, while a 23watt CFL (which emits the same amount of light as a 100watt incandescent) has a life of 10000 hours. Replacing 2 100W, with 2 23W CFL’s will save you 29.92$/Yr.
* Don’t leave lights on when not in use, if you do then use a dimmer. Some CFL’s now can be bought that have dimming settings on them. Do not use dimmers on regular CFL’s.
*Turn off your computer and especially your laser printer when not in use. A printer running for 5 hours a day, each day will cost you around 120$/Yr. Keeping your printer on for only when your about to print, say 1 hour a day can save you 100$/Yr.
Total Savings : 129.92$/Yr.
