I found a few facts out whilst researching energy tips...

  • A heavy coat of dust on a light bulb can block up to half of the light.

 

  • A compact fluorescent light bulb uses 75 percent less energy than a regular bulb and it can last up to four years.

 

  • A hot water faucet that leaks one drop per second can add up to 165 gallons a month. That's more than one person uses in two weeks.
  • An energy-smart clothes washer can save more water in one year than one person drinks in an entire lifetime!
  • A crack as small as 1/16th of an inch around a window frame can let in as much cold air as leaving the window open three inches!

 

  • Every time you open the refrigerator door, up to 30 percent of the cold air can escape.

I must dust my light bulbs more often......
