I thought that I would compile some resources for saving energy this week, for all of those people in our class who are looking to cut their energy bills.
First off is one of the first blogs I actively followed, Get Rich Slowly. While this is a blog about personal finance, not sustainable living, frugality is a recurring topic. To this end, there are articles about organic gardening, getting the most bang for your buck at the farmer's market, and lots and lots of articles about saving money by saving energy.
One excellent resource I found from that site was Michael Bluejay's Saving Electricity website. He has lots of specifics about appliances, heating/cooling systems, lightbulbs and even cost calculators for things like how much your dryer costs you per year. It costs my household at least $86 a year just to dry our clothes! If you take just a fraction of the advice listed on the website, you could save yourself a couple hundred bucks a year.
