Figure 18-36Page 408 What Can You Do? Energy Use ad Waste • Drive a car that gets at least 15 kilometers per liter (35 miles per gallon) and join a carpool. • Use mass transit, walking, and bicycling. • Superinsulate your house and plug all air leaks. • Turn off lights, TV sets, computers, and other electronic equipment when they are not in use. • Wash laundry in warm or cold water. • Use passive solar heating. • For cooling, open windows and use ceiling fans or whole-house attic or window fans. • Turn thermostats down in winter and up in summer. • Buy the most energy-efficient homes, lights, cars, and appliances available. • Turn down the thermostat on water heaters to 43-49ºC (110-120ºF) and insulate hot water heaters and pipes.
