1) How to save the heating/electric bills.
- Get energy saving bulbs. You can take them with you when you move, too. (Keep the old bulbs in a drawer to switch them out when you move.)
- Turn off the lights when not in a room.
- Turn off the “heated dry” option on your dishwasher. Open the door to air-dry or towel dry dishes instead.
2) How to save water.
- Turn off the water when you brush your teeth.
- Only wash full loads of dishes and clothes.
3) What are the products that are useful for lifetime use whether living in a house or apartment?
- A *good* set of knives. Yes, they are pricey, but they’ll last for years.
4) Tips about shopping.
- Use reusable shopping bags.
- Only buy produce that you’ll eat before it goes bad.
- Buy in bulk on non-perishable things you use a lot, it saves on packaging.
- Shop your local farmer’s market. It’s cheaper and you can often find locally grown produce there. (Not all the produce there is locally grown, some of the merchants get produce from the same suppliers grocery stores do.)
5) Whatever else applies.
- For clothes, only buy things you love. People tend to wear 20% of their wardrobe 80% of the time. It’s better to have fewer clothes that you love and will wear than a bunch of so-so items that sit in the closet.
- Recycle.
