One of the ways in which we live a greener lifestyle is to use energy more efficiently. Properly insulated homes, energy efficient appliances and lights, and good energy use habits all play a major role in reducing our electricity usage.
Since we are drawing electricity from the grid, our power comes in large part from the burning of fossil fuels. Reducing the amount of electricity we use, therefore, also reduces the amount of greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere.
One way in which the average homeowner can make sure their home is as energy efficient as possible is to conduct a DIY home energy audit. the link below is an article I wrote in my capacity as the Manchester Green Living Examiner which gives some detailed information on home energy audits and links to find even more detailed information from official sources.
