Comment on Is Your Computer Wasting Energy? by tony

I will certainly look at the sites you recommend. I don’t have any more sites for you mainly because I find that most sites have the right principles but forget human nature and the short and medium term financial effects of actions. My work is all about the practical side of saving energy in the real world.

Hey! Thanks for all the great info. I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine).

What is more interesting is that the quantity of mercury in a CFL is tiny compared to the amount released into the air by burning the amount of coal required to produce the energy saved by the lamp.

Comment on Improve The Efficiency Of You Central Heating System by James_452

Hey, this was really useful, it normally takes hours to balance my central heating system. The checklist meant it only took an hour. I’ve also noticed that my bedroom, normally the coldest room in the house, is actually warm for a change - it’s great. I even went out and bough a IR thermometer, that saved no end of time. Keep the great stuff going.

Comment on Why Are Manufacturers Not Quoting The Standby Power? by John - Saving the planet from my back yard

I hadn’t realised this was the case. I thought had never even crossed my mind to measure the standby current. I think I’m going to buy a meter and see how much I’m wasting a year. I agree with big saver, there probably is a vested interest in not publishing the “whole truth”.

great site, the tips u mentioned are really useful. I’m considering doing something very similar in my house and your site has been a great guide. I hadn’t though of all the things u mentioned and loads are simple, but effective. Keep the savings going.

Maybe the answer is there are some vested interests involved. What role do the power companies play in all this - it seems strange they charge less per unit the more electricity you use which is inconsistent with energy saving.
