I have recently been working on making my house more energy efficient. I started building my own solar panels and am very excited about building them and starting to power my house with them. I am making this post to ask people for advice on other things I can do to make my home greener. If you having suggestions please post them in a reply! Thanks!

The 2 biggest points I try to make are 1) going green doesn’t have to involve sacrifice because people always think they have to give up something and 2) anytime you conserve gas or electricity your wallet gets a little heavier, and since most people think with their wallets, it’s a good point to make.

its not just about the wallets, from time to time i hear people saying "i dont have a time to be green, i have to much work or something else to do". so it`s also about saving time but most important it is all about our behaviour and how we get use to live

The only problem is that 'going green' can be an expensive job. Particularly when we are talking about solar panels and using turbines in the home.
Our latest quote for solar panels to completely run the house and our workshop space came to 40,000 and that is money that we simply do not have. |

You can replace those old fluorescent lamps or lightbulbs that are not too energy efficient. They consume twice as much power than the newer ones.
If you can turn off the lights in parts of your house that are not really necessary that would be good too. It doesn't only save you money, it reduces energy consumption. |

I have replaced most of the lights in my place with energy saving daylight bulbs.. Both healthy and energy saving. Yes they are slightly pricy, but they add a lot of value to your home!!
