How to Save Money, Save Energy, and Reduce Waste With Eco-Friendly Products
In these times of economic uncertainty, climate change, and the rising prices of energy and goods, more and more individuals, households and businesses are looking for ways in which to save energy and by doing so, to save money.
Now, thanks to the inventions of many engineers and designers, there are all kinds of energy saving, eco-friendly products that can be used in the house and garden.
Take wind-up or dynamo radios, torches and flash-lights for example.
These have been available for some time now but they continue to be improved and developed to deliver more output for less input.
They are more energy efficient than every before and the ranges include lamps for all kinds of outdoor activity and location, or emergency lighting for the home and office.
Solar panels have also been around for a few decades now, but the early versions only heated water.
Thanks to developments in the photovoltaic cells that power solar panels you can now buy solar panel kits for use in all kinds of ways.
You can fit them to the roof of your garden shed and run a light in there without having to run a mains cable from the house.
You can also add them to the roof of your caravan, motor home, narrow boat or yacht and benefit from all the abundant and free solar energy.
Water is being used to power gadgets and toys that will amuse and inspire children and adults alike.
You cannow buy water powered cars, clocks, and even radios for the shower and there are meters which measure the amount of water used.
Electrical energy meters are also available and these can provide important and useful feedback on your overall household energy consumption.
For thousands of years the human race has found ways to harness the free energy in both wind and water to power machinery and vessels.
Think of the engineers who designed water wheels that helped to irrigate areas of land that would otherwise have remained fallow, the windmills that ground corn and wheat, and the ships that sailed the oceans to trade and explore.
Now, in the 21st Century, we are turning our attention once again to the free energy available to us, but not just in flowing water and blowing winds - we're also harnessing the energy of the sun and the geo-thermal energy of the earth.
Today's eco-friendly energy saving devices not only save money, but they also help to reduce waste because so many of them don't need replaceable batteries.
Why start making use of these devices in your home and see how much energy you can save over the course of year?
