can go green. 1. Save energy to save money. * Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs. * Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when your older incandescent bulbs burn out. * Unplug appliances when you’re not using them. Or‚ use a "smart" power strip that senses when appliances are off and cuts "phantom" or "vampire" energy use. * Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible

There are two common meanings of the term "greenhouse effect". There is a "natural" greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth’s climate warm and habitable. There is also the "man-made" greenhouse effect‚ which is the enhancement of Earth’s natural greenhouse effect by the addition of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels (mainly petroleum‚ coal‚ and natural gas). In order to understand how the greenhouse effect operates‚ we need to first understand "infrared radiation". Greenhouse gases

created the light bulb‚ phonograph‚ the movie camera and much more. These technologies like the light bulb are taken for granted because most of the world uses light from the basic light bulb‚ led‚ and flashlights. After numerous failures‚ Edison finally found the perfect material for the filament‚ thus replacing the lamps that used kerosene and oil .

electricity. By simply going around a home and shutting off the lights a person can decrease the cost of their electricity bill. The nationwide average for electricity is roughly $0.10 per kilowatt hour (Trent1). A compact fluorescent light bulb will use about 20 watts per bulb while an incandescent light bulb will use 50-60 watts per bulb. Leaving four 20 watt CFL bulbs on for two hours will cost about 1.6 cents. The incandescent 60 watt bulbs would cost 4.8 cents for those two hours. Some homeowners

Mr. President‚ As your advisor on energy policy‚ I believe it is important to inform you on the current status of global warming and of the energy crisis. I would also like to suggest changes in the current energy policy. Global warming can no longer be given a blind eye. Long-term observations in the last century or so reveal that the U.S. climate is changing rapidly. According to the National Assessment Synthesis Team’s U.S. Global Change Research Program in 2000‚ the average national temperature

Use the newer fluorescent light bulbs that last longer that the regular incandescent light bulbs and now they are only a few cents more and you will save more money because the bulbs last up to ten times longer than the regular bulbs. Another way to conserve energy is to air dry your laundry three times out of the week if you do laundry every day the will cut your drying cost in

Thomas Edison – Light Bulb Thomas Edison’s invention of the light bulb is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century because it changed everything about the way we see and gave electricity a whole new world for people to utilize and expand with. Light bulbs give us light (obviously) when people use to have to see by the flame of a candle. Flipping on a switch is so much easier‚ and safer

The invention of the electric light bulb not only improved human life but also extended our productive day and banished darkness. Soon something of equal importance to Edison’s light bulb and the Internet is going to shake the world. If I didn’t have to worry about living I could prepare myself for that paradigm shift and participate in the development of the
