Is your home environmentally friendly?

Sure, you may recycle but there’s a lot
more you can do to help preserve and
protect the environment—starting right
in your own home. Finding out how is
easy and entertaining. In The EcoZone Project, a new series produced by
EcoMedia and IMG, celebrities lead by example when they open their homes
to host Daisy Fuentes and her “Green
Team” of experts. The “green” make-
over includes cost-saving “green tips”
that you can replicate at home. Animated
on-screen graphics make learning fun.

GREEN TIP:
1. Substituting just one CFL for a tradition bulb will
keep 1/2 ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere over the
life of the bulb. CFL bulbs use 66% less energy than incandescent bulbs and can last up to 15 times longer.
If every household changed from using 5 regular bulbs
to compact fluorescents it would be the equivalent of
taking 8 million cars of the read for one year.

2. Unplug your cell phone charger when you're not
using it. Standby power, also called Vampire power,
refers to the electric power consumed by electronic
appliances in a standby mode. A very common
electricity vampire is a power adapter built on a plug
with no power switch. However, while this consumption
of power is used to provide functions for appliances
such as remote controls and digital clocks to the user,
most of the power consumed is considered wasted.

3. Power strips like adapters draw power. Even if
nothing is plugged into them the little lighted switch
is drawing .25 to 1.25 watts. Turn off the power strip –
after you've turned off other electronic devices –
and you're saving energy.

4. Look on the bottom of your electricity bill to see
if they have an option for you to purchase green or
alternative energy. Check with your local electricity
provider to see if they provide green energy. But
energy certificates or carbon off-sets. A carbon off-
set organization reduces the net carbon emissions
of individuals or organizations by developing pro-
grams that reduce greenhouse gasses. Some of
the projects they may invest in are tree planting,
renewable energy, or energy conservation.

5. Toxic detergents for your dishwasher and sink run
through your pipes and into our drainage system that
lead directly to our rivers, lakes, and streams. Use non-
toxic, blodegradable detergents around the house.
