Answer 2

well that's easier "say then do" but we have alternatives for SOME things, but for things like the idea of solar panels-not gonna solve anything, because it doesn't create enough power and we don't just use it for things like cars and energy, we also have fossil fuel oil in things like plastic, roads (tar), ext. but for some things like energy we have found better ways (better than electricity) like nuclear fusion and some other sources that work much better then oil.(definitely not a simple answer though, it goes on and on!!)

1. Setting Your Thermostat

Install a programmable thermostat compatible with your heating and cooling system. Make sure to set it comfortably low in the winter and comfortably high in the summer.

2. Lower Your Water Heater Temperature

Lower the thermostat on your hot water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. Washing Clothes or Dishes

Follow the full load guideline. Never use the dishwasher or washing machine unless it houses a full load.

4. Using Power Strips

Plug your electronics into power strips. When turning off these electronics, power down using the power strip to prevent stand-by mode from drawing electricity unnecessarily.

Turn off your computer and monitor when they are not being used. Contrary to popular beliefs, turning them on and off will not cause damage. If you are away from your computer at different intervals, make sure you have set the power save options.

6. Drying Dishes

Air dry dishes rather than using the heated drying cycle.

7. Washing in Cold Water

Wash clothes in cold water. This not only reduces hot water usage, but it is better for your clothing as well.

8. Use Compact Fluorescent Lighting

Use compact fluorescent bulbs to light your home. Not only do these bulbs use less energy, but they last longer than traditional bulbs.

9. Take Showers

Take short showers instead of baths. The amount of water used, and heated is significantly less for a shower.

10. Look for the Energy Star Label

Buy products that have the Energy Star label on them. All Energy Star products meet strict guidelines set by the US Department of Energy
