So you research the Stream Energy Rates and are all about green electricity but did you know that there are things all over your home that you could replace or switch out with environmentally conscious products? We have compiled a small list of the things you could implement in your daily life to help make your green home even greener. While a couple of these might seem a little on the pricy side, the amount of money you save in the long run more than makes it worth the cost.
1. Touchless Faucet Infrared Sensor Adapter
You have probably seen these in most modern, public bathrooms. You simply wave your hand in front of the sensors and you get a steady torrent of water, and the minute you are no longer using it, it shuts down. A great way to save water.
2. CFL Bulbs
Forget incandescent bulbs, these last 10 times longer and are four times more efficient than your regular bulbs.
3. Eco-Tux Dog Toy
These safe, non-toxic treats can hold your dog’s treats and his interest for hours.
4. Tankless Water Heater
Seems like a lot but a tankless water heater can reduce both energy consumption and costs by 50.
5. Solar Oven
Using reflective panels and other materials to absorb heat, this handy little stove can reach temperatures high enough to boil water.
