YCA Solar Lights Weblog

Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elayne) was on Jay Leno recently and described her 5 tips for going green.

Here they are:

1. Buy Compact Flourescent Light (CFL) Bulbs! They last longer and draw less energy.

2. Turn your thermostat up two degrees or down two degrees depending on the season. Learn to open a window or put on a sweater instead!

3. Give up your plastic bags! Bring your own reusable bags when you go shopping, and if you forget and must choose between paper and plastic, choose paper.

4. Unplug all electronics, including chargers, when not in use. Even if you are not charging things, they are drawing energy!

5. Recycle your old cell phones for free! Go to www.ema-online.org, print out a FREE pre-paid postage label, drop your phone in an envelope, stick the label on, and mail it in!

And if I were to add my own, I’d suggest you buy solar lights for your back yard or patio!
