| energy â while saving money! | | | | Turbines are a pretty basic concept, but in order to |
| As many of us within our society today, I have | | | | produce a sufficient amount of energy you will need |
| thought of which ways that I may go green within | | | | to put up more than one of these turbines. This is |
| my household. The first thing that I noticed is that | | | | why you always hear of Wind Farms because of the |
| going green does not necessarily mean saving money. | | | | amount of the turbines needed to produce a |
| Many of the option for reducing my energy | | | | significant amount of energy. I did not get too far |
| consumption cost me more money than its savings, | | | | with this concept myself because my home owners |
| as I am sure some of you are also finding out. | | | | association would not consider the concept of me |
| The first and easiest concepts on going green within | | | | sticking up one of these turbines in my lawn. |
| our households are light bulbs, right?! Well you many | | | | Solar is good concept and one that I can get by my |
| have 2 options here â fluorescent bulbs and | | | | home owners association to approve. The first part |
| LED bulbs (which are the newest option). I | | | | of my research into solar energy was the cost of a |
| donât know about you but the light given | | | | solar system. For a system that could put out |
| off of fluorescent bulbs is not the warmest or most | | | | enough energy to power half of my household |
| comforting light to have in your house, but we are | | | | energy costs upwards of $20,000 and this is after |
| here discussing going green, not necessarily our best | | | | the thousands of dollars in tax credits that I would |
| preference. Yet the costs are double that of normal | | | | still have to put out up front and get back later from |
| bulbs, and have not noticed any lasting as long as | | | | the government. So this concept was off to a bad |
| they state. The newest option being the LED options | | | | start within my research, but I did find a little light at |
| â well they are supposed to last so much | | | | the end of the tunnel. I found a good system of build |
| longer and save considerably more energy, but they | | | | your own solar panels. The designs are good and the |
| give off the starkest light (oops, not supposed to be | | | | investment is only a couple hundred dollars which my |
| talking preference again, supposed to be talking going | | | | wallet can handle. I will say that there is still one set |
| Green), and talk about cost â over $30 a | | | | back that I have with this concept â it is not |
| bulb. I went through a little bit of sticker shock, and | | | | always sunny at my house. |
| financial counseling on how much it would cost to | | | | Magnetic is a concept that I have just come across |
| replace all the lights within my house with these new | | | | in my research, and one that is the most promising |
| LED bulbs. | | | | to this point! In fact some of you reading this are |
| The second concept is moving toward high efficiency | | | | probably questioning what I am talking about |
| energy star appliances. This concept actually hits the | | | | â Magnetic? During my research, I have |
| target more with both going Green and saving | | | | come across plans to build a magnetic generator for |
| money within our household. Face it how much | | | | a household. The concept behind the magnetic |
| percentage of our household energy usage is really | | | | generator is pretty simple actually. You build a |
| put into light bulbs. The major issue with changing out | | | | generator where magnets using minimal energy |
| your household appliances, i.e. Stove, Refrigerator, | | | | create perpetual energy to create energy! These |
| HVAC system, etc., is the upfront cost and time to | | | | generators can produce more than 240% more |
| obtain your return on investment. Face it, no one is | | | | energy than it uses to create the motion. You can |
| going to go out there and replace all of their | | | | build a generator to power your household that is |
| appliances just to reduce their carbon footprint in the | | | | minimal in size as well â it can easily fit in the |
| world. Yes, I would say if you are in the market for | | | | corner of a garage or storage room. The magnetic |
| a new appliance, then definitely spend the little extra | | | | generator is the most beneficial concept of all of |
| that the energy star, higher efficiency appliance is | | | | those that I have researched to this point. |
| going to run you. I advise most people to just do as | | | | So you can way your own options, but in going |
| I have done recently in replacing my refrigerator with | | | | Green and having the best Return on your |
| an energy star side-by-side, but only because the old | | | | Investment would be the Magnetic Generators that |
| one kicked the can. I will do the same as my other | | | | you can build for a couple hundred dollars using tools |

| The last concept I would like to discuss with you is | | | | Follow the link to take the initiative and Go Green |
