Reducing your Carbon Footprint in Your Own Home
There are only two ways
to stop your energy costs from escalating in your home. You can
either use less energy by using energy saving appliances, or you can
opt for alternative home energy to power your existing appliances.
Doing both will deliver you even greater savings.
So what are the
different types of alternative home energy? By far the most popular
and most practical at the moment is solar power. The sun's energy is
captured using a series of solar panels and converted into
electricity. Any excess energy can be stored in a battery.
Some homes make use of
wind turbines to drive an electrical generator. This is most
practical in windy areas. Wind energy is free and clean at the same
time.
Any discussion on home
energy would not be complete without reference to bio-diesel for
vehicles. Made from vegetable oil, it produces no harmful gasses. At
the moment bio-diesel powered vehicles are still in an experimental
stage.
