Former President Jimmy Carter may have said it best: The best way to conserve energy is to not use so much of it. Americans use 24 percent of the world’s energy and only make up 5 percent of the world’s total population, according to Mindfully.org. In fact, on average, one American uses more energy than 370 Ethiopians. Fortunately, some simple things can be done around the house that are not only practical, but they also conserve energy.
How to Go Green & Preserve Energy
Preserving energy is one way to go green. It can also save you money on your utility bills. Keeping a home the right temperature makes up approximately 44 percent of a typical household’s utility bill, according to the Department of Energy.
