Making Better Energy Habits

For this week's WhiteFence tip for green living, I thought I'd bring you guys a nifty article that was posted at US News just the other day. It's a helpful resource that lists other blogs and posts about saving energy and getting rid of those bad energy habits we all have.

Apparently, a relatively new report shows that "Australia's households waste 300 million in Australian dollars (about $288 million U.S.) simply on neglectful habits". Considering that America is a bigger consumer as a whole than Australia, there are some strong implications there about how much we could be wasting here as well.

The article links to several sites that can help you change your habits around the home. You can calculate your carbon footprint, learn about Energy Star appliances and more. Visit US News to find out more about how to Kick Your Bad Energy Habits and Save.
