Water saver hints Posted at 11/25/09 - 04:53 PM

The use and overuse of water is becoming a real concern around the world and you can do your bit.  
For a cheap and easy DIY project in the bathroom, replace your full flush toilet with a low-flow,  this can save as much as 70% of your water usage. Dual-flush cisterns are also great because they control the amount of water being used.  If you don't want to replace the cistern, there are gadgets that fit in the cistern and regulate the float or water level, reducing the flush volume for just a few dollars.  Also, check your water authority as some now offer rebates when water saving measures are used.

When it comes to cutting your bills and cost of living, it pays to look at all areas of your lifestyle.  Looking at your cost of living expenses  can be very revealing and a real incentive to living cleaner and simpler.  For my sister however, the decision to take the first steps of going green with the help of the Earth4Energy Guide  made real sense. Here is why I believe it to be one of the best solutions not only for them, but also for the average homeowner.

My sister had recently bought a new home and decided to do the normal finishing off and renovations themselves to save money. In general they like doing things themselves even though they don't have any real handyman skills.  They also like involving their young son, so its a real family affair when there is a project on the go.  I would like to think that while they are capable, they pretty much like the average homeowner.  My sister is an artist and is creative, but while Mike is a fast learner and likes a challenge, he  is not a handyman.  Like many others these days, the economic times have created both problems and opportunities. They were looking for ways to cut costs and at the same time make a statement about their "green beliefs".  So, how could they go green and save money without spending a lot of money was a big question.

Most of our friends and family are environmentally conscious, while they live in a small city, they are from the countryside.  They, grow their own veggies, recycle and carpool to school with neighbours, but felt they could they do more.  Electrical power was always one of their big bills.  We   researched and looked around for a few weeks, and soon came to find that most alternative power solutions were very expensive and would cost at least $10000 if not more. So we began looking for alternatives. That’s when we found the Earth4Energy Guide.

Building our their own solar panels at a fraction of the price seemed like an real option. The Earth4Energy guide seemed to have more than enough information for us to be able to make a working solar panel. Besides, wasn't anything to lose because the Earth4Energy Guide actually guaranteed a full refund of the purchase without any questions asked, in case they weren’t happy with the guide.

They ordered the guide and when it arrived began preparations. The Earth4Energy guide came along with easy to follow step by step illustrated instructions as well as a few bonuses that made it fair deal.  It took them about two days to build a ten square feet solar panel, and an extra day to install it on their garage roof. That was a real accomplishment and they actually had heaps of fun during its  assembly.  Friends came to help and offer helpful advice as usual, a couple realised that they to could probably also do this. What’s more, the pack included an additional guide on wind power solutions.  

As a normal family, they managed to complete the entire setup on their own, partly down to their  enthusiasm and a lot due to the clarity of the material. But all along the process there was knowledge that assistance was available through technical support just a phone call away. Now as a result, they have taken that extra step of going at least a little green in their new home. Since then, others on the street have also considered a solar power project.  None of it would have been possible without the guidance of the Earth4Energy guide.  They were always the ones on the street that lead the "alternative way" as artists, and are now living their life confident they are doing their part for the environment.  Their friends and neighbours now view them as the green innovators who showed the way of living green.
