HOW MUCH CAN YOU SAVE - II

This post is in continuation with my previous post. I want to prove my point that with little consideration we can save electricity and contribute in the fight against the global warming. So let's take one more example. In my rest room I have 6 normal light bulbs to enlighten it, each bulb 60W. Let's say that I spend 1.5 hr every day in the restroom, so that would be 6*60=360Wh=.36kWh everyday. So for one month that would be 0.36*30 *1.5=16.2kWh every month => 16.2 * 0.22= $3.56 approx. I surely didn't needed all the six bulbs so I removed 3 of them and replaced the other 3 with 13W fluorescent bulb. 13W fluorescent is equivalent to 60W normal bulbs, so after these changes the saving would be= 3*13W=39W *1.5 hrs* 30 days = 1.755 kWh *.22= $0.39 approx So I save about $3.15 every month. So now justs adding the savings from previous post $4( by switching off the wireless router and cable modem) + $3.15 =$7.15 savings / month. Now the above scheme of bulbs there is a catch, you have to buy the fluorescent bulbs, but hey thats one time investment for at least 3-5 years. And also you are helping to avoid global warming. I will be posting some more examples, as I they come in my mind but surly currently we are abusing environment by relying more and more on non renewable sources of energy!! I hope after reading these posts a small thread would have spawn in your minds! Feel free to post your views or the changes which you made after reading my blog, sometimes feedback give motivation as well!!
