Turning your thermostat down by just 1% can save approximately 3% on your heating bill. Lowering it by 3% can save you up to 10%! If you are traveling for any length of time, be sure to unplug your appliances & electronic devices. Even when they are switched off, they still use “phantom” energy (which can account for up to 10% of your electric bill).
About Growing 2 Shine
Being an avid gardener, born and raised in Indiana, I feel incredible blessed to live in sunny California & be able to grow my own food all year-round! I write a monthly garden column for the San Jose Mercury News & am constantly striving for tips & ideas on how to live a little more gently in regards to ourselves, our planet & each other – basically sustainability we can live with! As a fulltime realtor here in the Bay Area, I help my clients “Go Green” in & around their homes & communities.
I hope you will find my monthly Green Tips useful; & I hope you find inspiration in the monthly Garden Tips & the incredible Edibles You Can Plant & Grow!
