Samples of what is on this LLD:
Don't charge at home; charge while you roam! Get into the habit of charging your cell phone in the car. While you're driving, your car is generating surplus energy anyway – so why not make use of it?
For your phone messages, retire your answering machine and go green! Answering machines use electricity 24x7, so get rid of your old answering machine and use your phone company’s voicemail system instead.
Your chopping should be complete before you turn on the heat! Don’t fire up the burner on your stove until you’ve finished all your slicing and dicing.
Keeping your lawn free of weeds helps to meet our planet’s needs. Weeds can consume even more water than the equivalent area in grass – so keep the weeks under control.
Brown rice is nice! Eat brown rice instead of white. The brown rice has more nutrients, and processing brown rice requires less energy than processing white rice.
Use cold water when preparing foods to be heated on the stove. Heating water on your stovetop consumes less energy, because your water heater is likely to go into a heating cycle each time you use hot water, since it will need to replenish the hot water that you drew from the tank
Change your car’s air filter frequently. According to some estimates, a clean air filter improves gas mileage by 10%.
