“Give yourself a break: take five.”
THE MARSHALL PLAN The of ficial magazine of OSU Athletics
You’ll be amazed how much you’ll save when you take these five powerful steps to use energy wisely: 1. Replace lights with compact fluorescent light bulbs. They give just as much light, but last much longer and use 75 percent less electricity. 2. Replace your old heating and cooling system with a new, high-efficiency system. Consider a geothermal system — they’re about 200 percent more energy efficient, and may qualify for lowinterest financing.
3. Insulate, caulk and weatherstrip your home. Most people don’t realize that a third of their energy bill can come from air leakage alone. 4. Set your water heater thermostat at 120ºF. Adding a water heater blanket can cut water heating costs another 10 percent. 5. Shade your house. Plant trees that shed leaves to give shade in the summer and admit sunlight in the winter.
