iving green means living well, using what you create with minimal waste,” says Mike Bond, an ecologist and bestselling activist author in Winthrop, Maine. Here, he and other savvy sources share tips to go ever greener in ways that are painless and affordable.
L Start Small
4 Choose the best bulb for the job. Light bulbs can confuse even informed shoppers. Incandescent bulbs last more than 750 hours, but aren’t energy-effi cient. Fluorescent bulbs use 75 percent less energy than incandescent and last 10 to 15 times longer. A 20-watt compact fl uorescent light (CFL) uses 550 fewer kilowatt-hours than a 75-watt incandescent bulb. For additional information, check

4 Use appliance thermometers. Widely available, this useful tool will confi rm a correct operating temperature of 37 to 40 degrees in the refrigerator and zero degrees in the freezer. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a warmer fridge allows bacteria to grow, while 10 degrees cooler than the ideal range increases energy use 25 percent. Chiller units work harder if the room temperature exceeds 70 degrees, so keep appliances out of direct sunlight and away from the stove.
4 Find the right seeds and plants. Then get quick advice on how many to buy
30 Central Florida natural awakenings
and how and when to plant using the
SmartGardener.com step-by-step app. It encompasses more than 3,000 organic, GMO-free, edible varieties.
4 No dishpan hands. A full load of dishes in a water-effi cient dishwasher uses four gallons of water versus 24 gallons for handwashing them, according to Seametrics, which manufactures fl ow meters.
4 Test the toilet. If a few drops of food coloring added to the toilet tank colors water in the bowl, replace the fl ap. It’s an easy and inexpensive DIY task. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that one in 10 homes leaks a cumulative 90 gallons a day.
4 Fix the faucet. One drip per second equals 3,000 gallons a year wasted, Seametrics calculates.
4 Reset the hot water heater to 120 degrees. This safe and effi cient setting also reduces corrosion and mineral buildup.
4 Discover soap nuts and wool dryer balls. Dried soapberry fruit shells contain saponin, which works like most detergents and soaps. Toss fi ve or six whole shells (one-half ounce) in a wash bag with the laundry. They’re good for fi ve to eight reuses. All-natural sheep’s wool dryer balls shorten drying time, soften and fl uff fabric, reduce static and help keep pet hair off of clothes.
4 Change the car’s air fi lter. Maintain a clean fi lter according to manufacturer’s guidelines and visual inspection, about every 30,000 to 45,000 miles.
